Question 991985: Joden just moved into a 12-story apartment building, and he is still having trouble finding which floor he lives on. He knows that he lives in the first apartment on the floor, but doesn�t know which floor. He starts by going to the first floor and knocks on the door. Mrs. SMith answers and tells him to go up 8 floors and ask Mr. Jones. Joden does that and asks Mr. Jones where he lives. Mr. JOnes doesn�t know, but he says, �Go down 2 floors to Bryn�s apartment and ask him.� Bryn didn�t know either. He told Joden to go up 5 floors to see his friend Trudie, because she knows where everyone lives. Trudie had no clue who Joden was. She said that the only one who might know where he lived was the new guy 7 floors below her. Joden goes down 7 floors and knocks on the new guy�s apartment. No one answers. He stands there thinking for a while and finally realizes that he is the new guy. He opens the door and walks in the apartment. Which floor does Joden live on?
