He's too short to reach higher than button 10, but if someone else is in the elevator he can ask them to press the button for 25 for him and on rainy days he can reach it with his umbrella

3 people go out on the town. Come night they decide to split the cost of a hotel room. The hotel room costs $30 to which they each kick in $10 ($10x3=$30). After they go to their room, the manager feels generous and decides to refund them $5. He rings the bellboy, hands him 5 $1 bills and asks him to take it up to them. On the way upstairs, the bellboy decides to pocket $2. He gives each of the people $1 back. They each have now paid $9 ($9x3 =$27) plus the $2 the bellboy kept is $29. What happened to the other dollar?

You have been asked to take 3 gold balls from one village, to another which sits on the other side of a ravine. You approach the bridge and see a sign that tells you that the maximum weight of the bridge is 140kg.
You weigh 130kg, the 3 gold balls each weigh 5kg.
The ravine is too wide to throw them across and you cannot leave any behind as they will be stolen .
How do you make the journey in a single crossing?

I have another!

There is a little boy trapped in a room with 3 doors. (I read my feedback on my other one and I swear to God do not ask "why is the little boy here?" He is here because riddle so dont even try. Also, the answer is not "go back the way he came". Stop it.) there is also a skylight. It is very hot outside. One has a magnifying glass tunnel leading to a trap door to the outside. One has a Lion who is waiting on the other side of the door for him. Another holds back gas that will kill him. Theres no hazmat suits or gas masks. He already tried, theres no way out through the skylight. How does he get out?
