RIDDLES:

1) Brandon stared through the dirty window on the 22nd floor of the office. He became overwhelmed by depression, slid open the window and jumped through it. It's a straihgt drop outside the building to the ground. He landed unhurt, there was nothing to cushion him or slow his descent. How did he survive?

2) A beggar's brother died, but the man who died had no brother. How could this be?

3) How can you physically stand behind someone as that person physically stands behind you?

Is he a window washer? Was he standing on the lift thing they use and jumped inside the office? :,/ or maybe he was standing on the fire escape or something?
