Riddle time!

Afro_

Ok, I'll start:

You are in a world completely made of concrete. You have a glass bottle and you throw it in the air remember, glass breaks when it falls and touches the concrete. So... You throw it, but the glass bottle survives the fall. Why?

RuthlessTomato

If the world is entirely concrete it wouldnt go anywhere because everywhere is concrete.

(The ground) YOU GET WHAT I MEAN

You threw it up and caught it

SalasCraft

if the world is full of concrete, i'm guessing the bottle is also concrete.

It's a trick question. It doesn't fall. Because glass doesn't exist in this world. A world made entirely of concrete. You're just screwing with our minds.

Afro_

Dammit. OK IM IN A BASKETBALL COURT. I THROW IT. IT SURVIVES THE FALL. WHYYY

RuthlessTomato

There's no gravity so you throw it up and it doesn't come back down.

Afro_

Finally, some real thought. Sadly, no, wouldn't I just float up? I guess... I'll just reveal it. It doesn't survive the landing but it survives the fall. Someone do the next one?

RuthlessTomato

I'll do a riddle.
(If you have heard it, please don't spoil it).

A man lives on the 50th floor of an apartment building. He takes the elevator down to the first floor every morning to go to work. On his way home, he goes to the 30th floor, and walks the other 20 floors. Why?

Afro_

He's going up, he stops at level 30 and walks to level 50home? Idk. It's gotta be a trick question.

RuthlessTomato

Well, it is a riddle. Every single day, he stops at floor 30, and walks to floor 50, but going to work, he goes right from 50 to 1.

SalasCraft

I think you're missing something on that riddle. (I know it.)

RuthlessTomato

Let me try again.

A man lives on the 50th floor of an apartment building.
For work, every day, he takes the elevator to the first floor.
He comes back to his apartment building at the end of the day.
He rides the elevator to the 30th floor of the building.
He walks the other 20 floors to his apartment.
The man repeats his cycle every day.

The man is short.  When he goes to work he presses the lowest button he can reach, which is 1. When he comes back he can only reach the 30th floor button, so he has to walk the other 20.  Am I right?
