5) The person using and lift is a dwarf and cannot reach the buttons in the lift above  5.Hence he has to use the stairs  to get to the upper floors.

4. Thursday is the name of the island that the man stayed on.

5. ?? None of the answers to date explain why the man doesn't take the lift straight down when he goes out of the building. I guess there's a specific reason for visiting the 5th or 6th floor when entering and leaving. ???

6. As others' previous answers - ice is poisoned.

4> Thursday is a horse

5>The person is a midget and cant reach the buttons 6-10 on the lift

6>The poison is in the ice

Congrats all those who got them right

Palfreyman - Your answer to 5 does not explain why, on the way down, he does not press the ground floor button from floor 10 - he can obviously reach it as he presses it from floor 5 ?? Was the original riddle worded incorrectly ?
Q5 In the version I heard, many years ago, the man could get to the tenth floor on rainy days.  Why? 
He could push the 10th floor button with his umbrella?
Too easy!!
4)  horse was called thursday

5)   SMALL MAN CAN ONLY REACH TO 5
