Everyday

The Elevator

Level 2 · Medium

Every day a man leaves his apartment on the 46th floor and rides the elevator down to the first floor to go to work. Every evening at about 6:00pm he gets in the elevator, takes it to the 38th floor, gets out and walks up the stairs for the remaining eight floors until he reaches the 46th floor, and his apartment. Why does he take the stairs instead of the elevator for the last eight floors?

One player reads the premise and knows the answer. Everyone else asks yes/no questions until they reconstruct what happened.
