A man who lives on the tenth floor takes the elevator down to
the first floor every morning and goes to work. In the evening,
when he comes back; on a rainy day, or if there are other
people in the elevator, he goes to his floor directly. Otherwise,
he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs
to his apartment.
Can you explain why?

9Due to rumors that there was a world shortage of chewing gum, everyone
was stocking up on packs. By the time I'd got to the store, they had sold
out!
However, there were two people at the till who had already bought 4 and 5
packs respectively and they kindly offered to share their packs with me.
After the sharing, we all had the same number of packs each and I paid
them $9 for my packs.
How did they share the $9 between them?

The man is of short stature. He can't reach the upper elevator buttons, but he can ask people to push them for him. He can also push them with his umbrella.

$3 and $6. As there were 9 packs in total, we each received 3 packs. The first person therefore gave me 1 pack, and the second person gave me 2 packs. So the money had to be shared in the same ratio, 1:2.
