Question

Accepted Answer

He’s short — he can only reach the button for the 10th floor. (Unless someone shares the lift, or it’s raining and he has an umbrella to push the higher buttons.) — Not a logic puzzle — a perspective puzzle. The answer was never about the building. It was about the person you forgot to picture.
