Now I get to repost my riddle, which nobody tried to answer:


Sherlock 117 wrote:The answer to this one is kind of wierd...if you've heard it before please don't say the answer right away.

You are in a room which is made entirely of brick. The floor is made of brick, the ceiling is made of brick, and there are no doors or windows. All that is in the room is a mirror and a table. How do you escape?

(don't ask me how you got into such a room)


Ok, since this thread has died a little and nobody tried to answer my riddle, I'll give the answer and someone else can post a riddle.

Answer:

Look in the mirror to see what you saw. Use the saw to cut the table in half. Two halves make a whole. Climb through the hole and escape.

BTW, a similar riddle is where you just have a baseball bat in the room. You pickup the bat and swing it three times. Three strikes and "You're out!" :roll:

nice, but then again you didn't literally escape you just played with words in an imaginary world.

What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?

The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?

A woman was horrified to find a fly in her tea. The waiter took her cup and went into the kitchen and returned with a fresh cup of tea. She shouted, "You brought me the same tea!" How did she know?
