Elevator Enigma
Level 3 · Hard
A man enters a lift of a high rise building, takes off one glove and pushes the button for the tenth floor. The next day, the same man enters the lift, puts on one glove and pushes the button for the tenth floor. Why?
One player reads the premise and knows the answer. Everyone else asks yes/no questions until they reconstruct what happened.
Hold, or double tap.
The answer
He was blind and on the first day he realised that the buttons were touch sensitive so he had to take his glove off. Unfortunately, due to his blindness, he had to feel for the tenth button and in the process pressed every button up to the tenth floor - causing the lift to stop at every floor en-route. The next day, visiting the same building, he puts a glove on one hand to locate the tenth floor button, then with the other hand he pushes the button.
