If this is still up for grabs, I think I have it (or at least something that might make sense)

...1231
and next would be 131221

ahhh.. The next would be 312211.

For some reason I was grouping the digits or describing them from largest to smallest. I'm not sure why I would do that verses just describing them left to right.

That's a good riddle!

The building is not finished above the 12th floor and is open. If he gets off
on the 12th floor their is no roof or covering so he will get wet. He may be
a construction worker working on the unfinished building.

This could be a homeless man camping out on the 17th floor of an unfinished
building or a building under remodeling.

Hey Freeztar how do I make the Smilies work or do you have to have a paid
membership to make them work ??? Can somebody tell me ???

The three questions
1. To the god of truth - Are you the god of truth ?
2. To the god of lies - Are you the god of lies ?
3. To the god of truth and lies - Are you the god of truth and lies ?

Working on it ???

Nope. The elevator works fine. Other people take it up to the 17th floor no problem. Consider my earlier hint:

He can't reach the 17th floor in the elevator.

While writing your post you should see some smileys on the right side of the text that looks like this:



Just click on one - it will put it wherever your cursor is. You can also click on "more" and a window will pop up (if your browser allows pop-ups) with more smileys.

You can also make a normal smile like this... :) and it will post like this...

post Icons on the first top right spot to make them work, we will see ???
