Correct
Supposing on the lift question everyone was at the main hall and both lifts where there, and closed/opened at exactly the same time, and there was a loading time of one minute...
2 minutes. 10 people use the stairs.

Yeah.
What about this one:
Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?

Not the answer I am looking for!
Just to add to make it a better story:
I eat a large healthy curry one night and on the way home I spot an advertisment for a large (and un-healthy lol) chip buttie, for £5. I eat the chip buttie in 4 days. In 3 weeks and a few days I order another £5 buttie and eat it.
Questions:
How long does it take me to eat the buttie?

Nul points.
We don't know: you've already had lots of calories from the vegetarian curry before your first bap, which will keep you going for some time. So you can take a long time to eat the first bap. By the time you have your second bap, you haven't eaten in some time (as far as we know). We don't know your BMR, how many calories were in the bap or in the curry.
So, I need to know your Basal Metabolic Rate, the calories in the baps and the curry. And how long it takes you to eat so much of the bap.
You're a slow eater, by the way! Food most get cold quite quickly...

Here's one pinched from the archives of Mock the Week...
If two Virgin trains are each travelling towards the other at 140mph...
...How long will it be until they are cancelled?

Nah, you got it wrong:
A Virgin train is travelling at 120mph between London and Manchester. What time will it be cancelled?

as soon as it leaves?
The crying man riddle:
You whiz around the corner in your rented moped when suddenly you're forced to come to a sudden stop.
It seems a funeral procession has stopped for a quick breather. Empathy overwhelms you and you offer your condolences to the whimpering man nearby. "Were you close?" you ask, wishing you hadn't.
After a moment, the man replies, "Brothers and sisters I have none, that man's father is my father's son."
That sounds sarcastic, you think to yourself. Maybe the guy doesn't want to tell you, which is fine, but there's no reason to be a smartass about it.
Or, perhaps the clever among can see this is the real answer.
