well i suppose ill post up an easy riddle :)

a man lives on the 20th floor of a building and evryday he goes to work. On his way to work he takes the elavator to the bottom floor and then elaves for work, on the way back from work he takes the elavator to the 15th floor and walks up the stairs to his room.

He isn't tall enough to reach the button for floor 20.

**EDIT**

Doh didn't actually read all the replies between the riddle and here, someone beat me to it lol.

Technically you're 1/2 a riddle master. Because megadude has the same amount. Hence you have half an e-penis.

I'm calling it quits. Only had four entries in a forum of 4507 people. Good work on those who participated and the answer to the last riddle was the the nanny did it, no mail on Sundays.

Only Megadude got that right :P

I don't know, seems silly to me. The nanny did it? Why?

I'm sure one would answer-ah, in a downtown home, they wouldn't have to go to the mailbox, but the fact of the matter is, an apartment is just as much of a home as owning an entire building and in downtown areas, this is often the case. Perhaps Sydney is different, but I am under the impression that it wouldn't be much different from any other major city. Thus, the nanny could very well have been walking down the stairs to the apartment entrance to check the mail. The next-gotcha moment would be, hey, the mail doesn't come on Sunday's but is the nanny there everyday? What if for some reason the mail wasn't checked on saturday? Perhaps they simply came back from out of town?

Sure the Nanny's a good enough answer, but so's the Gardener. Seriously? Planting FRUIT at a downtown apartment on a sunday morning? There was a handyman working on a shed on sunday morning? It all seems rather silly. Hence why no one really answered that one.

Honestly I was leaning towards gardener. Planting fruit downtown? So weird. I then thought perhaps the nanny and stopped thinking about it (and I freakishly didn't really notice thread until a few days ago-how odd is that?)
