Brain Teasers
Elevator Out of Order
Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation
Susan arrived at her new job in a 60 story building. When she arrived, she found that the elevator was out of order, and believe me, she did NOT want to walk up 30 flights of stairs. So how did she get to her office?
Hint
Susan didn't want to walk up all those stairs... But luckily she didn't have to.Answer
Susan simply walked to her office, which was on the first floor. I never said she had to walk up 30 flights of stairs, just that she didn't want to!Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

Loved how this teaser played with your mind with the words 30 and 60 floors!
lol i assumed it was that you said 'want' but that she walked up them anyway.

Lovely teaser!!
I'm not sure if this should be in the trick selection otherwise I can see why it's in the situation category. Maybe 50-50 otherwise not the best unfortunately.
nice teaser! I got it!
I nailed it, as well as the option that she didn't WANT to, but did it anyway.
she must be having her office in ground floor...
Way too easy. Quite stupid really.
