[QUOTE=Hardpoint Nomad;28367947] Riddle #2: A man in a business suit and a briefcase (Not Gman) is running down a corridor, the lights flicker and the man stops running. He sighs with disappointment and walks away[/QUOTE] Can't guess specifically, but something important was relying on an electrical machine. The version I hear is about a woman going up an escalator which stops with a power outage, and she bursts out crying. She was visiting her husband, who is on life support.

A man lives on the 42 floor of an apartment building. Every day he rides the elevator down to the first floor and gets off. When he returns, he rides the elevator up to the 22nd floor and takes the stairs the rest of the way up, unless it's raining. Why doesn't the man ride all the way up to the 42nd floor when it isn't raining?

The elevator uses a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_lift]hydraulic[/url] system to raise the lift up and down the building. However, to save costs, the engineer who designed it made it use rainwater from the roof as the hydraulic fluid. When it isn't raining, the lift has to use a stored supply which only contains enough to raise the lift to the 22nd floor. I said it was easy.

If Jean stands exactly one nautical mile away from Lord Scotland, how tall is Imhotep?
