Q4. A man is lying dead in a room. There is a large pile of gold and jewels on the floor, a chandelier attached to the ceiling, and a large open window.
Q5. A man lives on the twelfth floor of an apartment building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building.

Otherwise, he goes to the tenth floor and walks up two flights of stairs to his apartment.
