If the building casts a shadow, then the sun is out, and any man who is not standing in the

shadow of the building will cast a shadow of his own, no matter how short or tall he may be.

(If you had told us the length of the man's shadow, it would have been a completely different

question, and we could have had a completely different answer to offer in response.)
