Brainteasers!!!

[Halfeb]

Okay so each day I'll put a brainteaser to test your mental capasity and putting up the answers to the previous days question. Feel free to post your answers, but, you only get one guess. Good luck everyone.

Day one: (start out with an easy one)
A man builds a rectangular house, all of which have southern exposure. He looks out of of his windows and sees a bear.
What colour is the bear?

[Self-sain]

Black, the man is colored blind

[WingedZephyr]

The bear is white.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

The bear is white.

[Halfeb]

Okay new rule, I'll post one the next day if no one gets it. Otherwise, I'll post when someone gets it.

Yes, the bear is white because if all walls have southern exposure, you're at the north pole and therefore it would be a polar bear.

Now a harder one:
What is it?
It is have seven letters in it.
It preceeded god.
It is more powerful then god.
It is more evil then the devil.
Poor men have it.
Wealthy people want it.
If you eat it, you will die.
What is it?

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Oh, I remember this one!

The answer is...
Nothing!

[Halfeb]

Yes.
Nothing Preceeded God.
Nothing is more powerful then God.
Nothing is more Evil then the Devil.
Poor people have Nothing
Wealthy people want Nothing.
If you eat Nothing, you will die.

Okay, next one:
I have forests, but no leaves.
beaches, but no sand.
oceans, but no water.
mountains but no land
What am I?

[Self-sain]

A map/ globe

[Halfeb]

Yes, a map has forest but no leaves, beaches but no sand, oceans but no water ad mountans with no land, all because they are drawings.

Next one:
A man who lives on the tenth floor takes the elevator down to the first floor every morning and goes to work. In the evening, when he comes back; on a rainy day, or if there are other people in the elevator, he goes to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment.
Can you explain why?

[Self-sain]

The third one is from dragon age

There are a lost of reasones, shouldn't this be a little more deffinet answer >>

Umm..no idea

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

I had to look up the answer for that one so I won't post it because it's not fair for me to do that.

[Niala Ornitier]

would it be that the elevators' cables go faulty with the weight and weather? O.O i'm prolly wrong but *shrugs* this is fun

[Ares the Ram]

no, because if hes alone or if its not raining, he takes the elevator to his floor. its got something to do with weight and weather.
