Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They
don't know what he looks like but they know his name is John and that he is inside the house.
The police bust in on a carpenter, a lorry driver, a mechanic and a fireman all playing poker.
Without hesitation or communication of any kind, they immediately arrest the fireman. How do
they know they've got their man?
Hint: The police only know two things, that the criminal's name is John and that he is in a
particular house.
Answer: The fireman is the only man in the room. The rest of the poker players are women.

for this?
Hint: He is very proud, so refuses to ever ask for help.
Answer: The man is a dwarf. He can't reach the upper elevator buttons, but he can ask people to
push them for him. He can also push them with his umbrella.
