I didn't use any Tolkien companion. I've read the book about 10 times though.

1) A man sick with the life he has, wipes the black dust off a 23rd story window and looks through. "I'm going to end this" he tells himself, opens the window, jumps through to the other side and walks home.

How did he survive?

He is a window washer. He was on the outside so when he opened the window and jumped through he was jumping into the building.


I tackle the other 3 during my lunch break.

2) A man lives on the 12th floor, everyday he takes the elevator down to floor 1 and goes to work, comes home goes to floor 7 and walkes to 12. but when it rains he takes the elevator all the way to 12. why does he do this?

He's a midget and the elevator buttons for the upper level floors are on top so he can't reach the button for 12. On rainy days, he carries an umbrella so he can use the umbrella to push the button for the 12th floor.

Question 3:
Some parrots were sitting on two telephone-lines. One of the parrots on the first line said to those on the second: 'If one of you come over to us, we will be twice as many as you.' A parrot on the second line replied: 'If one of you come over to us, there will be the same amount on both lines'. How many parrots sat on the first line?
