A man stood looking through a window on the 6th floor of an office block. Suddenly he opened the window and leapt through it. It was a sheer drop outside the window to the ground. The man didn't have a parachute, or land on any special soft surface, or anything like that. He wasn't hurt - explain.


Did he jump into the building from outside?

He was a window cleaner and lept into the building?

OK, this isn't really a logic problem, but it'll do: who is an anagram of Presbyterians?

[Prophet Tenebrae]

Richard O'Brien?

It is possible to construct a sentence in which the word 'and' appears five times, consecutively - ie. with no other words in between the 'ands'. This sentence is perfectly grammatically correct. Can anyone give the sentence? Again, no tricks.

[Pussycat]

"The space between ‘Bush’ and ‘and’ and ‘and’ and 'Blair' was very small.”

...is a sentence describing another sentence which fits the bill. Another example of five consecutive words is:

"The tutor said that that “that” that that student wrote in the fourth line of his essay was wrong.”

[Pussycat]

Oh and an anagram of Presbyterians is Britney Spears.

[Thackary]

Mother and child.

The gaps between mother and and and and and child are identical.

[Thackary]

Presbyterians - taken from "Mind Games"?

You BBCfour viewer, you!

Well done! The way it was first described to me, included a story of a sign-painter who, when creating a new sign for the 'Cat and Fiddle' pub, had not allowed enough space between 'Cat' and 'and', and 'and' and 'Fiddle'

Aww - answering the easy way, without actually saying who ... Ford, Carter, Regan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II (the revenge).

[Mr Comedy]

i don't know all the US presidents, or intend to anytime soon

A man wanting a drink walked into a bar. Before he could say anything he was knocked out - why?
