Norbert-Reason (1 and 5)

Frankly, I am absolutely hopeless, but I will try my best to attempt to solve these puzzles. To me they are sort of tricks. There are many different answers, and you may argue that there’s more to it.

 

I think I know the answer to the 5th puzzle. I think A and C have both drank the contents that was originally in the bowl; they could have thought it is some sort of medicine, but in fact it is poison. They drank it, they faint, they drop the bowl, they drop, and they die.

 

The answer to number 1 I think is that he isn’t tall enough to reach to 10th floor button in the lift. So when he leaves, he needs to press the ground floor button, which is usually at the bottom. When he returns, he tries to reach for 10, but could only manage 7.

 

As you might be able to see, I wasn’t sure whether I solved them correctly. But I gave out reasons, to why I think my answer is correct, and hoping you will be persuaded that my answer is correct.
