J-Word Play #23 (Answer)

Last week's riddle was:

犯人に間違われた人はマンションの何階に住んでいる？
(はんにんにまちがわれたひとはマンションのなんかいにすんでいる？）

Before the answer, some kudos. We had two correct answers this time. Our winners?

First, our Riddle Master Cocomino of Life in Kawagoe. Second, Brian of Fee's List. Brian may also be a Riddle Master for all I know, but this was his first time answering, so he's gonna have to earn that title.

And now the answer.

ごかい (the fifth floor)

This riddle asks, "Which floor does the man who was mistaken for a criminal live on?" The answer is another product of some clever word play. 「ごかい」 has multiple meanings in Japanese, one of which is "5th floor" (５階). Another possible meaning is 「誤解」, which means "mistake" or "misunderstanding."
