0 k-man Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Two men make a bet that if he can jump off a 50 floor building he will give him $600. The man does this and walks away with the $600. How is this done? So much ambiguity with "he" and "him" and "this"... Assuming the ambiguity is not intended to conceal the answer and the bet is made between person A and person B, so that if A jumps off the building B will pay A $600 then my answer is A jumps from the 50-story building onto the roof of the 49-story building standing right next to it.

0 Guest Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 1. "50 floor" < > "50 story" He jumps off the roof of a single story flooring store, that has 50 different floors on display. 2. Parachute slows his descent 3. He is a stunt man and lands in a big pile of pillows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man does this and walks away with the $600. How is this done? Just b/c it's a 50 floor building doesn't mean that he jumped from the 50th floor... Answer: He just jumped off the first of the front steps Edit: Crap,sparky beat me to it Edited November 10, 2010 by Brandonb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 He wins by default, since it's within anyone's ability to jump off a building just by common sense. You don't have to actually perform the act to know that you're able to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 ...jumping off the 50 floor building is not the same as jumping off the fiftieth floor of the building, thus the bet could be won by jumping of the 1st step of the 50 floor building, couldn't it?

0 Guest Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 The riddle does not say anything about the man jumping hass to jump from the 50th floor, so it stands to reason that the jumper was successful if he jumped from the entranceway of the building.

0 Akriti Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 it is said that he jumped from a 50 story building but not from the top of the building so he might even jump from the ground floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
