Frenchfry:
A man in a suit is walking along a sidewalk when he suddenly remembers he had a meeting with a friend that day at a nearby cafe. He looks to his wrist, only to find that he has forgotten his watch. He hails the nearest car to ask the time. As the car slows to a stop, the rear window rolls down, and a man pokes his head out.
"Can I help you?"
"Yes, could you give me the time?"
"It is... four thirty-six."
"Thank you."
The window rolls up and the car continues on its way.
Question:
Who was the wealthiest person in this story?
Also, guesses don't count. Explain your reasons.
DarK_SouL:
Something close to what Silver said.
Reasons for all.
Anyone-Who knews.
Guy in back-He could be in a limousine or anything else. But, he knew the time. But if he was so rich, why stop to help someone unimportant.
Guy walking-What Silvah said, but also, you would think he would be in a mobile vehicle if he was wealthy, or he could be some hobo, trying to get the time. But, he has a meeting so it should be important. Also he seems important, sense someone pulled over to talk to him, why? Also he has a watch, but forgot it. Also the meeting isn't that important, or he would have remembered, and he is out and about, so he must be going somewhere, possibly another meeting.
Or Cafe guy-He has a meeting, but don't know much about him.
Silver:
From the information that has been given, the man in the suit will be the most likely answer.
There isn't enough information about the person in the cafe, and therfore can be anyone. It could be the president/ Bill Gates for all we know.
The man in the back seat of the car could easily be a man in the backseat of a taxi, or any other form of transportation really. You don't have to be rich to sit in the back.
The man in the suit on the otherhand, shows that his watch isn't one of the most expensive things he owns by forgetting it, as people usually remember things that they treasure. This shows that he can afford to not have it.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the taxi driver, he's the only one who owns their own vehicle (that we know of)
