A man was gazing through the window of the 33rd floor of the building. He suddenly opened the window and jumped on the other side of the window. On landing the floor, there was not a sheer mark of injury on him.
How can that be possible if he did not use any kind of parachute and did not land on a soft surface ?
Solution
1.Aeroplane Hijack
If the officials thought he was jumping with a hostage, they would never risk giving him a faulty parachute.
2.Challenging
Set the first switches on for abt 10min, and then switch on the second switch and then enter the room.
Three cases are possible
1.Bulb is on => second switch is the ans
2.Bulb is off and on touching bulb , you will find bulb to be warm
=>1st switch is the ans.
3.Bulb is off and on touching second bulb , you will find bulb to be normal(not warm)
=>3rd bulb is the ans.
3.Tricky Logical Mind Bender
The man falls within the house or the room i.e the other side of window not outside the building on the road or hard ground.
