Hi Guys,

Let's have your best guesses and I'll post the answer in a couple of weeks and we'll see if anyone gets the right answer.

Situation:

You are in a 10ft reinforced concrete cube. There are no doors, windows, cracks or any other way to make contact with the outside world. You are alone in the cube with only a table for furniture.

How do you get out?

If there is no door.. I would walk out through the doorway?

Or, bang my head on the table till I came up with the answer??

Break the table in half. Then fit the two halves back together to make a whole.

Escape through the hole .... simples!!

I would use my super powers and transform the table into a portal and escape.

OK. Time for that all important answer smile

Firstly - congrats to Mick! smile Not quite the textbook answer but certainly finished in the same way.

Here it goes...

Rub the table until your hand is sore.
Take the saw (sore) and cut the table in half.
Two halves make a whole.
Put the hole (whole) in the wall and escape through the whole!

Simples! smile

Simples? Yet another idiotic "word" that I see splashed all over the place these days. frown

How about that good old Americanism ... dumb? think
