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)
 
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???
 
Turn on 1st switch and wait for an hour. Turn it off and turn on the second switch. Go to room with bulbs. Bulb that is off but warm is 1st switch, bulb that is on is second, bulb that is off and cold is 3rd.

Correct, heard it before?
 
Riddle III

5 Men were on their way to church. It starts to rain. 4 of the men run, and they get wet. The man that does not runs stays dry... WWWHHYYYY?
 
A man buys a brand new screwdriver set and pays in cash. The cashier gives him back two coins that add up to 30p in change, but one of them is not a 10p. So what two coins did he get back?

A 10p and a 20p. ONE of them isn't a 10p ;)
 
OOooohh Samione... you were KINDA right.

He doesn't get wet because the dry man is in a coffin, the other 4 men the bearers..

going to CHURCH :)
