Good morning class, here we are again.
A less taxing question today.
I am wondering if people are finding this boring and should I stop posting them??

Please don't post the answers, so that everyone can try
PM me if you wish.

A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every day he takes the elevator to go down to the ground floor to go to work. When he returns he takes the same elevator to the seventh floor and walks up the stairs to reach his apartment on the tenth floor. He hates walking so why does he do it?

Note that there is nothing wrong with the elevator or the design of the building. It is a perfectly normal elevator in a perfectly normal building.

I will be back later, have a good day!

Marydoll Fri 08-May-20 16:36:51

Hi All, I made it back.

I have been busy. Because it is Friday I have made two lots of fudge: Cranberry and white chocolate (minus 1 bar of white chocolate I forgot to put it in, should have been two blush)
and dark chocolate fudge with a milk chocolate topping.

There is enough for everyone to share.

Q2.
Feelingmyage, ? Puzzler, ?*Doodle*,? Mary51, ?CraftingGranny ? and wila?

I thought there were only two answers, but wila gets a ?
for for offering a scientific word.

Mary51 came up with an inventive answer for Q1. ?
Callistemon also gave an imaginitive answer for Q1. It wasn't what I was looking for, but answered the question. ?

You certainly have been very industrious, or perhaps I'm just feeling generous.

Marydoll Fri 08-May-20 16:42:32

Answers

Q1 The man was short and could only reach up to the button for the seventh floor on the way up.
He had no problem on the way down, because the groundfloor button is the lowest one.

Q2: ^MEANTIME or MEALTIME.
wila suggested Mesonome

Puzzler61 Fri 08-May-20 16:58:28
