Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.
I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.
This week’s brain teaser: A man was sleeping in his hotel room when he was awoken by a knock on the door. When he opened the door he found a stranger standing outside who said, “My apologies, I thought this was my room.” The man closed the door and immediately called security to arrest the stranger. Why did he ask them to arrest that stranger? What made him suspicious?

He wouldn’t knock if he thought it was his room he would just use his key.

If it were his room, would he not have used a key instead of knocking?

1. You don’t knock on the door of your own hotel room. You use your key to enter.
2. The man was a zombie. (It’s close to Halloween).

LOL… hadn’t thought about the zombie bit but your first assertion is correct.

No one knocks to gain entrance to what they think is their own room
