The Lady on the 50th Floor...
The Story You Tell:
There is a lady who lives on the 50th floor of an apartment building. Every
day she likes to go shopping, so she takes the elevator all the way down to the
ground floor and heads out to shop. When she returns, she takes the elevator up
to the 10th floor and then walks the rest of the way to the 50th floor. On rainy
days, she takes the elevator all the way to the top. Why?
The Solution:
The lady is very short. While she can reach the ground floor button in the
elevator, she sure can't reach the 50th floor button! On sunny days she can
reach the 10th floor button and has to walk the rest of the way up. On rainy
days she carries an umbrella and uses it to reach the 50th floor button.
