Solution: The Elevator Riddle

Solving the “Elevator” Riddle

First try solving this puzzle on your own and comment in the post -> The Elevator Riddle

⚠️ The Riddle:

A man lives on the 10th floor of a building.

Every day he takes the elevator down to the ground floor to go to work.

When he returns, he takes the elevator to the 7th floor and then walks up the stairs the rest of the way.

Why?

🧩 Answer?

Because he’s too short to reach the button for the 10th floor.

💡 Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

He can only reach up to the 7th-floor button.

So he rides up to 7 and walks the rest.

Problem solved — no elevator conspiracy here.

🌱 Real-Life Lesson?

Sometimes what seems like a weird habit is just a practical limitation.

Like me trying to reach the top shelf without a chair — spoiler: it never ends well.

Moral? Don’t assume complexity when it’s just a height problem. 😅
