Answer that riddle

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

When the lift door opens to the third floor, she can go up one more floor and maybe leave her shoe at the top of the staircase. Then she can take the lift down and go out the front door and to the police station!

close.. but looking at this, she will still have high chance of dying.

hint: the man can run pretty fast.

edit: if you run the stairs with the lift which one will be faster???

hmm... maybe she keeps her shoe on and leaves a tissue packet in the lift. (I think most apartments have fire escape plans, back doors etc) She can take the other flight of stairs down and out to the police station!

That is if she can run faster than the man.

Hint: Man can run faster than the lift only for the first few levels.

She can press the button for the higher floor and create the illusion that she is going up to a higher floor. Maybe she can hide somewhere until she is sure that the man has run up to the higher floor. Then she can go out of the apartment building and to the police station.

Yea! You are right!

The actual explanation goes like this:

The woman was actually killed at the first floor. This is because, when she is paranoid about someone going to kill her, she will be relieved when she found out that the killer has not yet made it to the third story to kill her. She will immediately press the button to the lobby and rush out to the nearest police station.

The man did not kill the woman at the first level when he went in with the woman because of the security camera. If the man were to kill her on the third floor, it would be the same to kill her on the first floor - He would be stabbing her inwards from the outside of the lift. The only reason he did not kill her at the first floor was because he could not. The best reason is that there is a security camera and he did not want to be caught on tape. Therefore, he would not kill the woman on the third level as well.

Him holding the knife running up the third level is just a scare. It made the woman believe he was going to kill her at the third level, which makes her panick and get to the first level. All the man needed to do, was to pretend to climb halfway to the third level and immediately run to first level once she is out of view. A man runs faster than the lift for first few three or four levels. The woman was killed when she ran out of the lift and out of the apartment where there are no more security cameras.

How to save her life:

This man is not a stupid man. He is smart. So he will not expect to be tricked by his own trick.

What the woman should do is, when she reaches the third level, and found out that guy is not there yet, she should wait for the door to close naturally. Wait for a while then press the top floor of the building.

This gives a misconception that the woman has exited the lift. The man would panick and run up to the third story to check. And when he realises that the woman has not exited, he will be sure the woman has gone up to the highest level of the building. This time, he will either choose to press the lift and follow her up, or run up to the highest floor, lets say 13th level.

Either way, the woman is already at the highest floor. She will then throw out some distinguishable belongings there. Then she goes back to the lift and goes down two to three levels and throw something out again. When the man reaches the top level, he will be made to consider two choices - the woman has exited or it is a bluff. The woman now has a half half chance of escaping.

In the case the man thinks its a bluff and runs down the stairs to check, he will again stumble on the same choice when he sees the woman's belongings. Now, the man must choose again. This time, the woman's probability of escaping is another half half.

Continue for all the levels, lets say every two levels, 13, 11, 9, 7, 5, 3. Then the woman goes out of the first level and runs to the police station.

Lets calculate the probability of the woman to be caught.

1/2 (13) x 1/2 (11) x 1/2 (9) x 1/2 (7) x 1/2 (5) x 1/2 (3) = 1/64 which is really really small.

Yep. Thats the end of the analysis.

What goes on and never ends?

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

infinity?

[Moonlight Magician 98]

Time?

[Anti-APTX4869 181]

uhhh...

hmmmm....

I think.....

The number of times this question is being asked.

Because, someone will ask me this eventually, later on sometime....

If it keeps on going forever, it will never end because some one will use it again next generation and so on so it will go forever even though I die or people who started this dies.

Even though this riddle would not be used for like years, there will be someone who will think of this again and would start the cycle.

Therefore it is the number of times the question is being asked which will go on and will never stop.
