If a deaf man falls where noone hears it, does he make a sign?

 

[Elburzito]

A man lives on the penthouse(top floor) of an apartment building. Each day he goes to work at 7 o'clock, using the elevator outside his apartment. When he comes back from work at 5 o'clock, he can only travel halfway up the floors with the elevator and must walk the rest of the way, unless there is someone else in the lift or unless it's raining. Why?

Because he's too small to reach the top button without either getting someone else to do it or poking it with his umbrella.

Damn it....You're right....

Ok, try this one:
"A man walks into a bar and orders a glass of water. The bartender takes out a gun and points it at the man. The man simply says thanks and leaves the bar. Why?"

Try this one.

Ha thanks for that. That just made me laugh out really loud in my quiet office

You have a perfectly spherical ball made from that 2 way mirror stuff they use in police interview rooms (the reflective mirror side on the inside of the ball)

If you looked into the ball what would you see?

Correct me if I am wrong in my idea but my question is "What is a reflection of a reflection?"

When you have two mirrors facing each other, they get smaller and smaller in each others reflection but if you had a spherical mirror, hence the ball idea, what would you see? I cant figure it out

That's not how mirror glass works.
What mirror glass does is the same thing to both sides, it reflects half the incoming light and allows half the light through. This means that the side with the most light sees a mirror while the side with the least light sees through the glass.

You'll note that in police interrogation rooms, the room itself is lit-up while the "spy" room is in darkness. If the interrogation room was dark while the "spy" room was light, the criminal would be able to see the police while the police saw a mirror.

So, if you had a ball made out of mirror glass, all you'd see is outside of the ball being a mirror, not the inside, because the light source wouldn't be inside the ball. And if you did put the source inside the ball, all you'd see is the light source itself. Because the direct sight of the light source would overwhelm the mirror effects, as each time a reflection happened the light would be halved.

That was amazing, finally a serious answer. IU have asked that many times and peopel including myself cannot work out what is going on. I still wonder though if you could have a light source with wasnt visible (just so the inside wasn't dark)just to see what a reflection of a reflection is. I don't think it would be possible though for the reasons you mentioned above. Thanks again

...if my nan falls down in her flat and there is no one around, does she make a sound?

Same answer as with the tree...NO...sound is subjective...it comes into existence when sound waves are interpreted by the brain...before that it is only periodical differences in ambient pressure...

Well that was a bigger buzzkill than Buzz Killington. I am aware of the science behind this, I was just making a rather perverse joke

Suicide may be your only option.

He had a hickup. The bartender noticed it from his talking and healed him with the shock.

A man eats dinner, goes up to his bedroom, turns off the lights, and goes to sleep. In the morning, he wakes up and looks outside. Horrified at what he sees, he hurls himself out his window to his death.

Why does he do this?

He had hiccups and the gun scared him.

Who is phone? (Inside joke between a bunch of blokes I know on skype.)

Dude, "who was phone" is a five year old meme from 4chan.

if you divide by zero do you get infinity?

what are your chances of doing anyhting if doing that one thing is zero chance but how is it zero if you can do it?

Dividing by zero is impossible. Think of it this way:
8 pieces of pie between 8 people= 8/8= 1 piece of pie for each person
8 pieces of pie between 0 people= 8/0= 8 pieces of pie between noone...
therefore there is noone for the pie to shared between and thus is undefined.

As with the second one you cannot do it because your chance is zero. You cannot, but someone else might be able to, giving you a point of reference.

Infinite + Infinite = ???

Infinity's not a number.

Yeah what you are actually asking here is what is what are two Undefined numbers added together, the answer to which is another undefined number.

Your trapped in a room with Justin Beiber, Miley Cirus, both are having a karaoke contest, and you have only one bullet in your revolver. What to do?

Shoot one of them then beat the other to death with the empty gun and your bare hands.

Pick the lightest one. Kill the lightest one with the bullet. Kill the remaining irritant with the lightest one (wield like a baseball bat).

You shoot yourself, obviously.

Why does pain hurt?

I either get a strange look or "because it does". I still dunno why it hurts, or what pain even is. I feel pain, but I have no idea why it hurts me, or what "hurt" is. Ah fuck, I'm just diving by zero here.

Pain is the body's way of telling you that there's something wrong and that you need to do something about it.
