Mind Benders
Well its 28 degrees below zero here again today (-43 with the windchill) so I am stuck inside looking for a way to pass the time. I got this idea from another thread that had number sequences in it, but most people don't like math. TV trivia and movie quotes are fun but wanted something new.
So here goes, just some sort of riddle or mind puzzle, it can be math oriented or logic or whatever. Whoever answers the current one gets to post the next one, but please wait for confirmation from the puzzle poster to make sure you are right to avoid multiple questions up at the same time.
I'll go first.
The maker doesn't want it, the buyer doesn't use it, and the user doesn't see it. What is it?

How would you rearrange the letters in the words "New Door" to make one word

There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it. If you are not allowed to move in any way (other than your eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?
