Brain Teasers #4

 1. The 22nd and 24th presidents of the United States had the same mother and the same father, but were not brothers.  How could this be so?

2.  A man who was not wearing a parachute jumped out of a plane.  He landed on hard ground, yet he was unhurt.  Why?

    I am always suspicious when an answer pops into my head. I believe these questions are mind twisters and although my mind is twisted…it is usually twisted in a different way from everyone else.
    If these answers are too simple or stupid, please ignore. I am not a history buff but I’m saying the same man was president 2 different times.
    AND..the plane was parked when the man jumped out.

    1. 22nd and 24th President was Grover Cleveland. Looked up the 22nd to see who it was and got it!
    2. Was the plane still on the ground?
