English ground floor is American 1st floor. It is the difference in terminology.
So American goes to 11th floor and the british goes to the floor above. So he reaches there later.

because in england the 1st floor is the second floor. right?

the man in new york was on a higher floor?

cause in America floor 0 is floor 1. Or in England. One of both.

theres a time difference??

the time differance in the different places..... it should change bc they are in dif. placeshttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylc=...

Dunno, london is ahead time wise, so it doesn't make sense.

elevator in england slower?

i dunno lol

His Elevator Is Faster ??? Or The Floor Sizes Are Different...Or The Time Zones Are Different O_O...Pssh I Dunno

The London man was REALLY fat!!

Because of the time difference.

Europe has a diffrent time zone!

The guy in New York was on floor 10 when he got in and the guy in London was on floor 1....

the NY elevators went faster.

the time difference between london and new york?!

time difference..................

time difference, oh no, if it was at the same time then the time difference doesn't matter it is cause of the metric system? did I get it right? no cause then the guy in london would have made it first, still working on it, without cheating

in europe the first floor is one floor up in the us it is the ground level

because of the time difference

Not enough information.

What floor do each start out at?

because the man in n york was on the 10th floor

Man in Londed Started at the ground floor, man in New York started on the eleventh !

The elevator is faster than the lift

They don't all move at the same speed

there is no 12th floor building in london!
???????

Because there is a five hour difference between New York and England so therefore he is doing it earlier in time.....e.g. If it was l am on Friday in London it would still be 7.pm on Thursday in New York.

the dude from new york is TALLER! and a considerable amount can be like...from his waist up or something

The man in new york is on a different floor to the man in London.

the man in new york was on a higher floor.

Because of the time difference maybe, but that wouldn't really make sense because London is 5 or 6 hrs ahead of New York So the guy in London would have had to get there first.

Oh well I tried, 10 points for effort!!

It is 5:15pm in New York, it is 10:15pm in London. The man in New York gets off on the 12th floor 5 hours earlier.

The lifts in New york are faster!

Otherwise - what the others said.

they didn't start on the same floor
