The man in the Elevator

 

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 or to go shopping. When he returns he takes the 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?

He's a midget-too short to reach the tenth-floor button
(I didn't actually figure it out-I heard it somewhere else!)

If so, why doesn't he buy a cane if he really hates walking?

I'll rewrite this slightly -

With the cyber equivalent of one stroke of a pen, make this 9.50


10 10 10

I am saying 1010/10

 

but in binary, this is equal to 5 so I am now puzzled as I can't think of anything else wacko.gif

OK here goes:

 

Mr. James wanted a new house built for himself and his family.

 

He wanted to be able to see the sun shine into every room and so he told the building contractor to build the house so that all the walls faced south.

 

How did the contractor succeeded in building such a house?
