The previous Saturday Puzzle stumped everyone except one reader of the blog from Brazil, Dr. Robert Gonzales, and our 9 year old grandson, Samuel.
Here is Samuel busy on the beach collecting sand for the Kampitie garden last week.
The answer - A short man (a dwarf)!.
The man can press the bottom button of the lift in the morning with no problem.
However, when he comes back in the evening, he can only reach the button for the 10th floor, so he has to walk up the remaining flights of stairs.
Why can he push the button for the top floor if it is raining when he leaves for work in the morning?
Simply because he carries an umbrella with him, with which he can reach the button of his floor on his return journey!
Today's puzzle is a real brain teaser for the mathematically minded.
Although it is going to take you back to winter on such a beautiful summer's day when the temperature is hovering here in Oulu around +30 C, let's give it a twirl!
If the temperature in the morning in some place is 0 degrees Celsius (Centigrade) and the Weatherman on the TV Channel says, "It will be twice as cold tomorrow," - what temperature will it be tomorrow?
Have a great week!
