My mate gave me a good riddle the other day. Now I know some of you may have already heard it so please give other people a chance to reply. Oh, and try to refrain from googling it and posting it, whats the point....YOU'RE ONLY CHEATING YOURSELF!

A man who lives on the 18th floor of a block of flats get's up each morning, takes the lift from the 18th floor to the ground floor and goes to work.

When he returns he get's the lift at the ground floor, goes to the 14th floor, get's out and walks up the stairs the remaining 4 floors.

WHY?

(i can answer yes, no and irrelivant to any questions)

Is the lift he goes up on the same as the lift he uses to descend?

Is he trying to lose weight?

Maybe he's a shortass and can't reach any buttons above the 14th one, lol.

No...or irrelivant. I s'pose he could be, that isn't why he get's out though

Riddle II

There are 2 rooms, one with 3 light bulbs (that never burn out) mounted on the wall, one with 3 switches (that never wear out). Your goal: to figure out which switch goes to which light bulb.

These 2 rooms are separate and once inside one, you cannot not see inside the other. The room with the 3 switches has 1 switch connected to 1 light bulb in the other room. There are no tricks to the wiring, each individual switch goes to exactly 1 light bulb, and vice versa. You are allowed to go into the room with the 3 light bulbs as often and for as long as you like, but you cannot damage anything (to look at the wiring, for instance). Once you do go into the room with the 3 switches, you can flip the switches on and off as often and for as long as you like (again, barring any damaging activity), but as soon as you leave that room, you cannot return. You can then go back to the other room, but then you have to give your answer at that point.

HOW DO YOU DO IT???

A man walks into a hardware store with an empty wooden barrel that weighs 4 kilograms (8 pounds). He puts FIVE things in the barrel and now it weighs 3 kilograms (6 pounds). What did he put in the barrel?
