This is stupid, I just wanted to see if anyone else has heard this.


You're stuck in a 10x10 room. There are no doors or windows. The roof, floors and walls are solid concrete. The only thing in the room with you is a chair. How do you get out? <_<

Why is there several floors but only one roof?
One would think that the chair might be part of teh solution but it might as well be a decoy to keep me from noticing that there are only 3 walls or something like that.

You don't say yes that makes sence!
There wouldn't be much of a room if there wasn't any space in the cube!!! :lol:

If I were to be somewhat pedantic, I would point out that a 10 x 10 room is still only 2-dimensional in area. I myself am 3-dimensional in area and thus could not possibly be in the room in the first place. Therefore the puzzle is irrelevant.


Obviously I would never do that though

How big is your appartment Steve? over 200 cubicmeters? :P

I often run into that same problem (this is true) when reading a recepie that says something stupid like "Cut the meat in 2X2 cm pieces" That makes no sence, as long as I keep two sides 2 cm the dish will be fine no matter if I get a snake shaped or leaf shaped pice of meat.

This isn’t one of those ‘stupid’ puzzles where the answer is something like:

You smash the chair and use all the pieces to make a whole, and then you exit through the hole is it?


[SIZE=2](I hope not – groan!!!!!!!!!)[/SIZE]

I would say that you walk out where the fourth wall should be. "The walls" can mean that there is only 2 or 3.

I apologize to everyone, first of all it's floor not floors. Secondly I should have specified 10x10x10, 3 dimensional.

It's actually a stupid play on words.

You look at the chair, see what you saw, take the saw, cut the chair in half, two halves make a whole, crawl out the hole.

Just some thing silly I recalled from a long time ago.

No worries jdm

Anything that gets people thinking (even it is a play on words) has got to be good in the greater scheme of things.

Its definitely got to be better than watching reality tv

My brain is mush at the mo, so the floor is wide open for whoever posts first with a new riddle!

Try this one...

I drive a car, it goes very fast.
I am in second place for career wins for competitors currently in my sport.
I am in second place for poles for competitors currently in my sport.
I have finished Third in the championship standings three times in my sport.

Who am I, what series of sport do I play and what team?


Thanks for the reminder Suze.

Time for a hint I think...

Some say that he has won the Indy 500, others say he hasn't.

More than likely gave it away with that.

Well seeing as how I think was my first double post might as well make it a triple.

Would someone like to answer this or shall I post a new riddle?

Please answer it as I did come up with it myself.

You!!! What about me! I just made a triple post!!!

Alright the answer is Paul Tracy, Champ Car Racing (CART), Player's.

Alright new riddle...

Jimmy has a quarter. He has flipped it seven (7) times and it has come up heads everytime.

"This must be some kind of magic coin." he thinks to himself.

He goes to his friend and bets him fifty (50) dollars that if he flips the coin it will come up heads.

So now what I am looking for is this... what are the odds that the coin will come up heads again? Remember it has come up heads seven (7) times already.
