You look in the mirror, see what you saw, take the saw, saw the table in half, place the two halves on the wall, put the two halves together making them whole, exit the room through the hole.TRR said:

There is a prison on an island with unclimbable walls, there is only one entrance/exit. The only way to the prison is across a very long bridge, so long it goes over the horizon, this bridge is too tall to leap from. There is no gate on this prison, if the guard at the gate sees someone leave the prison without papers he brings him back, if someone wants to enter without papers, he sends them back. The bridge is so long the gaurd only checks every 10 minutes, as it would take at least an hour to reach the end of the bridge. How did a prisoner successfully escape without papers?
Ok, I have a confusing one 
There are 100 people in a room and they are told that they are wearing either a red or a blue hat. They can see what colour everyone's hat is except their own. They cannot communicate with each other in any way. In reality they are all wearing red hats (they can see 99 red hats but have no idea of their own colour). Every hour they get an opportunity to say what colour hat they are wearing but they can only say if they are 100% sure. A voice over a speaker in the room says "There is at least 1 red hat in this room". 100 hours later they are sure of the colour of their own hat and all say it is red. Why?
Hint: Imagine the scenario with one person in a red hat, then 2, then 3 etc etc.
This is interesting when you think about the information that the voice gives the people. They all know there is at least 1 red hat (they can all see 99!!) but if there is no voice saying that then they can never know their own colour. :O

It's quite straightforward if you read carefully.alxhrmn said:
Answer: the prisoner leaves when the guard isn't looking, then turns back towards the prison. The guard sees him approach, as the prisoner has no papers to enter, the guard sends him back across the bridge to freedom.
Here are a few from The Hobbit.
What has leaves that nobody sees? Is taller than trees. Up and up it goes and yet never grows.
An eye in a green face, saw an eye in a blue face. "That eye is like to this eye", said the first eye. But in high place, not in low place.
A box without hinges, key, or lid, yet golden treasure inside is hid.

Well, i'm not sure but i'll say shit. Not crap... just shit. Follow my logic hereImperator_DK said:
The guy don't want it, even if he produce it.
When you buy something that don't work (a shit) you don't need it because it won't do anything.
A Man that need it (need to collect his shit (the expression)) doesn't know it till it's too late.
So, i'm i right?
Pratchet probably got it from somewhere even older. The Order of Turtles [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Order_of_Turtles#Qualifying_questions].emily123 said:
