You are awoken at 6 A.M. by a knock on your door. Your parents call you to let you know that they are there for breakfast. You are confused but quickly think of what food you have. You have bread, jam, butter, and eggs. What do you open first?

There was a window cleaner who was cleaning a window on the 25th floor of a skyscraper. He suddenly slips and falls. He has no safety equipment and nothing to soften his fall, but he is not hurt at all. How can you explain this?

@DarkWolf

Was he cleaning the window on the inside of the building, and so he simply just fell onto the floor?

@DarkWolf

The more riddles I read and see the answers to, the more my brain starts to think in new ways. I am otherwise a very literal person and quite terrible at riddles. That's why I think these games are a good idea, because they are good at teaching lateral thinking.

@adamabinta

Yes, you start to think out-of-the-box, but after some time, most riddles become almost too easy then :P Anyway, there are loads out there. So I will continue trying to find some good ones, and I will probably throw some more rebuses in it too, since they can be good for that kind of thinking too :)

@DarkWolf

Is this metaphorical or literal touching? If metaphorical, my guess would be: a compliment.
