40. The Jump From the Window A man stood looking through the window on the forty-fourth floor of an office block. Suddenly, he was seized by an irrational impulse. He wrenched the window open and jumped through it. Though there was a sheer drop to the bottom, the man escaped unhurt. He did not use a parachute or land on any particularly soft surface. Can you explain this? Added 14 October 2015 Show Hint Show Solution Hint: Consider the position of the man in relation to the ground. Solution: The man was not jumping out of the building; he was jumping in. He was inside the office building and jumped into the office space, not out of the window.
