This one's a little trickier.

With a little detective work and deep thought, the following facts can make an accurate statement. Can you figure it out?
11 is a race horse
12 is 12
1111 race
12112

is it a heart (the first one)

can be really good or really evil, stereotypically poor people have loads of fun and no money where as with rich people it's vice versa (if i had loads of money i'd be pissing myself with laughter)

if you eat your heart you die?

Latimer,

11 is a race horse
12 is one too. (12 is 1 - 2)

11 won one race. (11 1 - 1 race)
12 won one too. (12 1 - 2)

Nothing may work, but I find it hard to believe rich people don't need anything.

Ok here's another one.

This guy living on the 20th floor in an apartment building got up early each morning to go to work in a downtown store. He always went into the elevator on the 20th floor and rode down to the entrance (1st floor). When he came home he always rode the elevator from the entrance and up to the 8th floor. He walked out of the elevator and walked the stairs up to his apartment on the 20th floor.

Why doesn't he take the elevator all the way up to his apartment?

This is an excellent riddle, however, you left out some very important information, without which the problem doesn't make that much sense. It should be added that on rainy days, our protagonist rides all the way to the 20th floor .

Peace

PS A little hint for all: my username... hehehe....

A quick test of intelligence. Don't cheat! Because if you do, the test will be no fun.

There are no Tricks to the test. Read this sentence:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Important, count them ONLY ONCE: do not go
back and count them again.

Latimer,

He can't reach the button for the 20th floor because he is a midget. On rainy days he can use his umbrella to push the 20th floor button.

(Also the presence of Special Bill and a llama in the elevator scares the man so he walks all teh way from teh 1st to 20th floors on those days.)

On the other one, six F's. I've seen that one before.

The purpose of counting the f's:

One of average intelligence finds three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average. If you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius. There is no catch. Many people forget the "OF"'s. The human brain tends to see them as V's and not F's.

I got all these riddles straight from www.riddlenut.com

I counted 3 F's. I guess I'm average.

As for the one with the elevator, I didn't get it. So, I e-mailed it to my dad in Las Vegas last nite. My mom called me this morning and told me she didn't appreciate me sending my dad riddles because because he became obsessed with, as my mom put it, "that stupid puzzle", and he stayed up 1/2 the nite trying to figure it out.
