An elevator is on the ground floor. There are five people in the elevator including me. When the lift reaches the first floor, one person gets out and two people get in. The lift goes up to the second floor, three people get out, five people get in. It then goes up to the next floor up, no-one gets out but 12 people get in. Halfway up to the next floor up the elevator cable snaps, it crashes to the floor. Everyone else dies in the elevator except me. How did I survive?
You were one of the passengers who exited on one of the lower floors.

You are correct!
The source providing the question provided a poor answer.?ÿ It said you got off on the first floor.?ÿ But, you could have gone as far as the second floor before exiting to end up a survivor, as no one exited at the third floor.?ÿ You would not be the sole survivor among those who rode the elevator as there had to be three others as well.
Everyone else dies in the elevator except me. How did I survive?
You had a gas mask to prevent methane asphyxiation. ?????ÿ
