A few tough riddles... Try to solve them...

1. This person doesn't know your name and he never does. Why not?
2. A guy picked a book off the highest shelf in a library. On the spine, he read "How to Jog". He ran out of the room and opened the book but found it had absolutely nothing to do with jogging. Explain...
3. Eternally I am 1 to 6, eternally am 15 to 20, I am always 5, but I am never ever 21 unless I am flying, what am I ???
4. A man lives on the 18th floor of his complex. He takes the elevator all the way to the top on days that are rainy. He goes to the 12th floor and walks up if he's alone on the elevator. Why is that?
5. I walk into a room where there are 10 people in who are 20 years old 10 who are 19, 10 who are 18 and 10 who are 30. How many people are there in the room?

Actually they are easy!

    Second one: The book that the guy picked up must be an encyclopedia.
    He picked up the volume containing entries beginning with the letters 'how' and ending with 'jog'

    41 people in the room as it includes me too now! (the one who enters need not be of that age group) As I am 19, I complicate the case!
    Okay this can be a stupid answer!

    @reya-SMihdC • Mar 3, 2011

    Eternally in a die each side is marked 1 to 6.When you place the die on a table the exposed sides add up to something which is between 15 and 20.Because it shows only 5 sides when it is on the table!It adds up to 21 only when 6 sides are exposed!This is possible if the die is placed in air.Got it??

    Pl. don google. Use your brain, because, there's no use of getting the answer. Its easy, but finding the answer is tough and interesting too... ๐Ÿ˜€

  • Reya

    @reya-SMihdC • Mar 11, 2011

    ok tell me the answer for first quest!

  • PraveenKumar Purushothaman

    @praveenkumar-66Ze92 • Mar 11, 2011

    Fine... Closing those questions...

    1. "He" is dead and had never met you. This is the most obvious answer, though others have said "He" is a stranger or he is deaf and blind.
    2. The book Jenn picked up was one of a set of encyclopedias; she picked up the volume containing entries beginning with the letters "HOW" through the letters "JOG".
    3. A die: you'll find the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 - one on each side of a die (Eternally I am 1 to 6,)
    When the die is on a flat surface, the numbers showing will add up to a umber from 15 - 20.
    When the die is "resting", only 5 numbers always showing.
    When the die is thrown, all sides are visible and they total 21.
    4. He is too short to reach. he can get someone to push the button or he has his umbrella.
    5. 41
