A man lives on the twelfth floor of an apartment building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. In the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator -- or if it was raining that day -- he goes back to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the tenth floor and walks up two flights of stairs to his apartment.

I know this one too...but should I leave it for someone else to get?

And he does that because he's a very short man who can't reach the button for the 12th floor!

A woman has incontrovertible proof in court that her husband was murdered by her sister. The judge declares, "This is the strangest case I've ever seen. Though it's a cut-and-dried case, this woman cannot be punished."

Because the sister is mad and hence can claim asylum?

I'm confused. I was going to say that the woman was an only child, but the proof is incontrovertible...actually, what does incontrovertible mean?

I'm confused as usual

Basically there is absolutely no doubt that her sister is the murderer. Like she had been there at the time or something.
I think she spends a lot of time with her sister...

Gaah, I said the siamese twins answer for the wrong question then, earlier. I wonder what's the next riddle going to be?

Well someone did mention siamese twins earlier so I put it, and she would have to be siamese to spend that much time with her sister.
OK: this one might be very easy for some people but it took me ages to get it!!
How many Queens have been crowned in England since 1831?

31?
5?

Sep 13 2005, 04:43 PM
It is going to be something really ridiculously simple.
I am going to say 1...just because I don't think it is just a matter of counting all the queens.
Or none for some random reason.
Car Expert
Sep 13 2005, 04:44 PM
I'll say...2

Sorry, was thinking of the queen mother..(was she even Elizabeth?)

Sep 13 2005, 04:47 PM
Is it the fact that you are not crowned when you are a queen, you're crowned to become one? Therefore no queens are crowned....
nicki_flute
Sep 13 2005, 04:48 PM
Erm because they inherit the crown...so don't need to be crowned *shrugs*
violin-ann
Sep 13 2005, 04:48 PM
That's because they didn't hold the ceremony in England? Stupid answer, but that's all I can think of at the moment!
