The Swede, the Dane and the Norwegian were applying for work at an office-building, however there was only one job available; the boss said that the one who could climb the highest up the building's facade would get it.

First the Swede tried; he climbed ten floors up and fell.

Then the Dane Tried; he climbed twelve floors up and fell.

And last the Norwegian tried; he managed to climb fifteen floors up before he fell.

 

Who got the job?

Did any of them die in the fall from the climb?

Did the person who climbed the highest actually get the job?

If I can guess again here's my answer, if not then discard this post.

 

[spoiler=Answer]

If there's only one job in the office building then that would mean the boss has it.

One job available as in one job not already taken.

Ahhh!! I didn't see that until just now. I'm no good at coming up with puzzles, I only like to solve them.

 

Whoever has a puzzle can post it instead of me!

There are six eggs in the basket. Six people each take one of the eggs. How can it be that one egg is left in the basket?

The sixth person ran off with the basket containing the last egg?

Okay, my turn!

 

Jimmy's mom asks him to buy some milk from the store. She gives him $5 and he makes his way to the store. Once inside, he grabs a large bag of milk from the refridgerated foods section. He brings it to the cash register and finds that the bag costs $6.24. Jimmy searches his pockets for extra cash but is unable to find any. He then searches the ground for spare change, but all to no avail. Desperately, he begs others around him for extra change, but they refuse. Running out of options he asks the cashier if he can pay them back later, and they reply with an unsurprising 'no'. Fearful of what his mother would say if he were to come home empty-handed, Jimmy contemplates the situation for a while. He suddenly slaps his forehead for his stupidity, and eventually he comes out of the store with milk. How did he manage to get milk?

The bag contained lots of cartons/bottles/units of milk, so Jimmy took one milk bottle out of the bag which ended up costing less than $5 by itself.
