This guy is rather short that he can only reach the button for the 20th floor in the elevator. But on rainy days, he'd be bringing his umbrella so he can reach higher buttons.

Your answer makes sense about the rainy days but that dosen't explain
why he walks 10 floors on a normal day 
OK the Next one
What is this word? If it's spelled right, it's spelled wrong, and if spelled wrong is spelled right.

either WRITE or WRONG would be logical answers, I think.

Now time for a real brain teaser
You had 100 bars of gold on a truck that you wanted moved to your warehouse. Each bar weighed a pound. You hired ten people to carry the gold into your warehouse. They carried ten bars each, one bar at a time and created their own stack in the warehouse.
One of them turned out to be a thief. That person shaved an ounce off of each bar he carried.
Now, you have a scale that you can use just once. How do you figure out who stole the gold?
Let us see who is the really brainy guy/gal here.

OOPS!!! 786KBR, I should have said that the loss of weight is not visible you have to weigh it to find it out

So you put five bricks, one from each stack, on each side of the scale. Obviousely you can tell wich side is lighter. Take one brick off each side repeat till scales balance which means the brick you just took off the light side was the one or you'll have only one brick left in each side and you have the light one. |

Mustafabay each of that will be considered a different weighing so you have weighed quite a lot of time now.
May be this info will help you to solve this. You actually have a scale which shows you the wheights of the object you are weighing. It is not a 'balance' that you have but a scale. I don't know whether I have confused you
