The off-topic thread

No !

Well well the answer must be like the dallas episode :-)

You awake up and it was all a bad dream ....

 

Oh sure change the perimeters!!

Case solved again!!

 

Ah damn I think I got it.. The room isn't just four walls and a floor and ceiling, ( cube ) it's more so you just walk out the other side that isn't a concrete wall!! Give him a high five for this one!!

 

Other possible solutions:

• Open the concrete door and walk out
• Try pushing all six walls (one at a time)
• Move table (may trigger something)
• There is no escape. So live your remaining life in the room and wait to die :)

 

cut the table leg into a chisel and chisel way out of room. Shawshank redemption style :-)

 

Climb table and then go out through the air vent

 

Well, if he were smart enough to "think outside the box" so to speak, then perhaps with the help of someone outside the room?

You didn't say how thick the walls were (I don't think).

However, I have one question ...

Did you forget about the mirror in the room?

 

There is no spoon...

 

Fine ... then just saw the table in half, put the two pieces together to make a (w)Hole and crawl out ... what's the big deal.

 

Knock on the wall and await for someone to open door :)

 

That's dumb enough to be correct


Softy of that's answer change it to something else quick !

 

Woot I was right... there is no spoon!! What do I win??!!

 

That's the only damn thing that makes any sense to me, and yes ... it's stupid enough to be right, and besides ... Softy said something about wanting to smack her hubby around because of the answer, and that told me it required some "out of the box thinking" which we normally don't do without conscious effort, so ...

I went "stupid-silly" and side-stepped basic assumptions ... which we also don't do without conscious effort.

I guess we'll just have to see what Softy tells us, and if my answer is right, then I will go smack Comp upside the head for all of us ... they only live about 30 minutes or so from me.

I used to play some of these riddle thingys with my students to break the ice ... this one never came up, BUT ... here's one for you to figure out ...

==================================

A man walks into a bar with a shotgun ... asks the bartender for a glass of water, then says thank you and walks out ...

The question is ... why did he need the glass of water?
