What building has the most stories riddle
The brain teaser in question is a simple one and is based on the question:
What building has the most stories?
Yep, that’s it. It may seem like a simple question but for some, it’s proving to be a tricky one, especially for anyone who’s now looking up a list of the world’s tallest buildings.
Answer: What building has the most stories?
- The answer is a library.
That’s right, rather than asking for the number of floors a building has, the deceptive question is simply asking for the building that contains the highest number of storybooks.
If you do happen to be curious about which building has the highest number of floors, it’s Dubai’s Burj Khalifa (pictured above) which has 163 floors and is 828 metres tall.
