text: can someone help me? a man lives on the 10th floor of a 10 story apartment. ther is an elevator that travels to all 10 floors up and down just like an ordinary elevator. when the man leaves his apartmewnt he takes the elevator down to the first and goes about his day. when he returns he takes the elevator up to the 6th floor and walks up the stairs to the tenth when he is alone. when he is with someone else he takes the elevator to the 10th. why does he do this? there are no problems with the elevator or the building i think he likes to make exercise, that's why he take the stairs from 6th to 10th is enough for every day, is not too much as if he took the stairs from the first floor.
