Can you explain the paragraph below? You may ask yes or no questions.

Not far from Madrid, there is a large wooden barn. The barn is completely empty except for a dead man hanging from the middle of the central rafter. The rope around his neck is ten feet long and his feet are three feet off the ground. The nearest wall is 20 feet away from the man. It is not possible to climb up the walls or along the rafters. The man hanged himself. How did he do it?

Is there a puddle of water below the man?

Yes

I will let someone else continue.

Go ahead, curly. I think this one was an oldie that everyone knew. I'll post another one once you're done.

He was standing on a block of ice.

At least he didn't get cold feet...

That's dark, soot.

Okay, this one's a bit harder...

A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every day he takes the elevator to go down to the ground floor to go to work or to go shopping. When he returns he takes the elevator to the seventh floor and walks up the stairs to reach his apartment on the tenth floor. He hates walking so why does he do it?
