A pickpocket, a criminal , and a banker are standing in the lobby and need to ride the elevator to reach the One World Trade Center observation deck. It’s too far to take the stairs and the helicopter pad is closed for repairs. The elevator only fits one person. If they remain together on the same floor, the pickpocket would kill the criminal, or the criminal would kill the banker. How can they all make it to the observation deck alive? This is a logic puzzle that requires some thinking and trial and error. Here is one possible solution: - The pickpocket goes up first and waits on the observation deck. - The criminal goes up second and waits on the floor below the observation deck. - The banker goes up third and waits on the floor below the criminal. - The pickpocket goes down to the lobby and waits there. - The criminal goes up to the observation deck and waits there. - The banker goes up to the floor below the observation deck and waits there. - The pickpocket goes up to the observation deck and joins the criminal and the banker. This way, they all make it to the observation deck alive and never remain together on the same floor.
