What is this?

Riddle:
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?

Answer:Brad was so sick and tired of window washing, he opened the window and jumped inside.

Two days ago, Adam was 10 years old. Next year, he'll turn 13.
How can this be?

Three women were transformed into flowers which grew in the field, but one of them was allowed to be in her own home at night. Then once when day was drawing near, and she was forced to go back to her companions in the field and become a flower again, she said to her husband, if you will come this afternoon and gather me, I shall be set free and henceforth stay with you, but if not, and you pick the wrong flower, i shall die. And he did so. Now the question is, how did her husband know her, for the flowers were exactly alike, and without any difference.

No and no.

It's not that difficult an answer. :wink:

I should point out that the original riddle had a little different wording and the name(Adam) was also different. I re-worded it just a bit to avoid the smart-asses that would inevitably google for the answer.
I guess I did a good job because they must have googled but come up with squat. :lol:

Honestly, I did not try to google that one, or any of the previous riddles.

How can this be?



OK, simple logic says that:
His birthday is December 31. Today is January 1st. So 2 days ago he was 10, now he is 11. He'll be 12 at the end of this year, and the following year will turn 13.

That all makes sense, yeah?

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.
