Friday’s Quiz

by cupcake . Updated 16 years, 3 months ago

So my soon-to-be former manager has up and taken some time off
before he moves to his new assignment.

So, I have agreed to provide today’s puzzle in his absence.
Unfortunately, for my team, the first puzzle was too easy and solved
quickly, so I offered up a second.

The first:

Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor
of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window
open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building
to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt.
Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how
could he have survived the fall?

The second:

Four men sat down to play. They played all night till break of day. They
played for gold and not for fun. With separate scores for everyone.
When they had come to square accounts. They all had made quite fair
amounts. Can you the paradox explain. If no one lost, how all could
gain?
