I draw on the blackboard with my chalk a straight line 1 meter long. Now, without erasing or doing anthing else to the line itself, I want you to make it a shorter line. How can you do this?
Here’s another very easy one.
At the beginning of the time we were sending people to space, we instantly found out that it was extremely difficult to make notes in outer space since there was no gravity there and thus the ink of a pen doesn’t flow downward. At once we tried to research ways to overcome this setback of the pen, after all, people still needed to make handwritten notes there. What was the simplest idea that overcame this obstacle?
(If I remember correctly, there’s a moral to the riddle. No matter how great our achievements are, when we see another whose achievements far outclass ours, we can’t help but compare ourselves to them and in the end, we feel lesser than what we truly are.)
This is a riddle that quite many surely understands.
A guy living in a appartment with 30 floors (in the 30th floor), taking the elevator to the exit every day to go to work. Although when he comes back, he only takes the elevator to the 28th floor and takes the staircases up. He isn’t one to waste time, so how come he can’t just take the elevator all the way up?
moogle: all wrong.
Dark Matter: Correct.
Wolf: all wrong.
Why: The guy living in the 30th floor cannot reach the highest button because he is a bit short, so he’s forced to take the stairs. He could bring a stick along, yes, but why not just use the stairs for the jogging?
Actually mine is right if I were talking about going up. Didn’t state it right I’m afraid. Whatever, I don’t pride myself in riddles. Not when I have my muscles to show off! kisses bulky arm
