A yes or no riddle from October 2, 2026. Try to work it out before you open the hints.
A man lives on the 10th floor. Every morning he takes the elevator all the way down. Every evening he takes it up to the 7th floor and walks the last three flights. Unless it's raining, or someone else is in the elevator. Then he rides it all the way up.
Why does he do that?
What do you carry when it's raining?
An umbrella's good for more than keeping you dry. It also makes your arm a lot longer.
He's really short.
He's really short. He can reach the buttons up to 7, but 10 is too high. On rainy days he has his umbrella, so he pokes the button with it. And if anyone else is in the elevator, he just asks them to hit 10 for him.
