Solve theseInspired by this thread...
First person to get these five questions right (according to my answers), in the same post, without cheating (e.g. editing their post) will win eternal fame
...and gain some rep
- A hunter aims his gun carefully, and fires. Seconds later he realises his mistake. Minutes later he is dead.
- A baby falls out of a thirteen-storey building onto the ground, and survives.
- A train pulls into a station, but none of the passengers waiting move.
- A man lives on the twenty-fifth floor of a block of flats. Every morning he takes the elevator to the ground floor. At night evening he goes into the elevator and if it is raining he goes straight back to the twenty-fifth floor. Otherwise he goes to the fourteenth floor and climbs up remaining flights of stairs.
- A man marries fifteen women in his village but does not break the law.

Very good. I suppose you might've stolen some of the answers off of other people
but you came up with 1) and 3) which is good 
. I might rep a couple of other people too in a couple of days for your effort 
.
Other people should post some

Re: Solve these1. A hunter aims his gun carefully, and fires. Seconds later he realises his mistake. Minutes later he is dead. He shot his twin
2. A baby falls out of a thirteen-storey building onto the ground, and survives. Falls out of the ground floor or lands in a bush
3. A train pulls into a station, but none of the passengers waiting move. They don't need that train. Theres a bomb on board...
4. A man lives on the twenty-fifth floor of a block of flats. Every morning he takes the elevator to the ground floor. At night evening he goes into the elevator and if it is raining he goes straight back to the twenty-fifth floor. Otherwise he goes to the fourteenth floor and climbs up remaining flights of stairs.5. A man marries fifteen women in his village but does not break the law. They all die or divorce him before he marrys the next one :LNo idea. He fancy's getting a bit of exercise

Re: Solve theseThe answer I had was "It was winter. He fired the gun near a snowy cliff, which started an avalanche." Don't care if it's not true, it sounds clever(Original post by refref)
Gunshots dont set off avalances!
. There was an alternative answer, "He shot an elephant with a low caliber rifle. Not powerful enough to kill it, the elephant became enraged and trampled him." but nobody got that either and tbh it's a bit of an obscure answer anyway
