Uhmm...

Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?
Spoiler:
Brad was so sick and tired of window washing, he opened the window and jumped inside.

The building could have been built next to a cliff.  While the floor was 22 floors off the ground on the north side (street side), the 22nd floor could have just cleared the height of the cliff on the south side/cliff side.  Thus, jumping out the window made him land a few feet below.

Or, he could have been a window cleaner on the outside of the window jumping inside. xD

riddle of the sphinx
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphinx

The Riddle of the Sphinx

The Sphinx is said to have guarded the entrance to the Greek city of Thebes, and to have asked a riddle of travelers to allow them passage. The exact riddle asked by the Sphinx was not specified by early tellers of the stories, and was not standardized as the one given below until late in Greek history.[2]

It was said in late lore that Hera or Ares sent the Sphinx from her Ethiopian homeland (the Greeks always remembered the foreign origin of the Sphinx) to Thebes in Greece where she asks all passersby the most famous riddle in history: “Which creature in the morning goes on four legs, at mid-day on two, and in the evening upon three, and the more legs it has, the weaker it be?â€

Probably right, but he could be a wack-a-mole 'mole' or a guy at a fair with his face through a cardboard cutout being pelted with pies.
