RIDDLE

IF YOU ARE IN A ROOM
AND ALL FOUR SIDES, CEILING AND FLOOR
ARE MADE OF STEEL AND TOTALLY ENCLOSED,
THERE ARE NO OPENINGS,
THE ONLY THINGS IN THE ROOM OTHER THAN YOURSELF
ARE A TABLE AND A SAW,
HOW DO YOU GET OUT?
ANSWER: CUT THE TABLE IN HALF,
PUT THE TWO HALVES TOGETHER TO MAKE A HOLE,
AND CRAWL OUT THROUGH THE HOLE.
