Rules :



Post a riddle, the next person to post has to answer it and then post his/her own riddle, sort of like the competition Kore set up, but you can post unlimitied times as long as you don't answer your own question or double up riddles.



Riddle : Paul's height is six feet, he's an assistant at a butcher's shop, and wears size 9 shoes. What does he weigh?
 
A: Meat

Q:



The governor of a prison is bored. He decides to amuse himself by playing

a game with the prisoners. He sets up a room with two switches in it. Each

switch has 2 positions (on and off ). He tells the prisoners that he is going to

send them to the room one at a time and that they have to move exactly one

of the switches each time they visit. He is free to send them in whatever order

he likes and can send them as often as he likes (perhaps sending one prisoner

100 times before sending some other prisoner, then sending the first one again...

anything!). The only promise that he makes is that if any prisoner picks a

number n and waits long enough, they can be sure to visit the room n times.

The prisoners are kept in solitary and are unable to communicate once the

game has started. They will never know how many other prisoners have visited

the room since they were last there. They are also not told what the initial

position of the switches was.

The governor tells them that if at any stage a prisoner comes to him and

states correctly that all prisoners have now visited the room at least once, all of

the prisoners will be freed. But if a false claim is made, they will all be shot.

The night before the game begins the prisoners meet in a large room to

discuss their tactics. Do they have a strategy that ensures they will win their

freedom?

[font=arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif]the night before.. the prisoners decide on a switch which will be the "counting switch" they give one person authority to start the game by placing the counting switch in the off position.. if it is your first time in the room then only do you have authority to touch the "counting switch" if it is your first time in the room you must turn the counting switch on, or leave it in the on position.. if it is your second or more time in the room you must make sure that the counting switch is set in the off position.. this way the only time the counting switch will be set to on is when a first time person has been in the room.. the person who has authority to count, then counts the number of times he enters the room with the counting switch in the on position.. when his count is equal to the number of prisoners he then knows beyond doubt that everyone has entered the room at least once[/font]

Q: A man lives on the 11th floor and takes the elavator down to the 1st floor every morning to go to work. [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]In the evening, when he comes back from work; on a rainy day, or if there are other people in the elevator, he goes to the 11th floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the 7th floor and walks up four flights of stairs to his apartment. [/font]

is it something to do with people not labeling 13th floors?
 
The man is a midget and can't reach the 11th floor button on days where he is alone in the elevator.



EDIT: ok here is one:



You are walking outside on the street. You are not wearing a hat or cap. You are also not wearing an umbrella or something else above your head. Yet you do not get wet! How is that possible?
