In reply to another riddle :-P, posted by LiLi80 on March 21, 2002, at 8:43:29
> Ok, you are stuck in a steel room, four walls, ceiling and floor, no windows, no secret hatches or anything, the only things in the room are a wooden table and a mirror. How do you get out?
Walk, run, do summersaults, skip out of the non-enclosed room.
according to www.m-w.com:
look up "room".or: http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=room
the definition does not claim that the room is an "enclosure".
The four steel walls do not need to be enclosed, yet could be topped with a ceiling. The mirror and table are decoys.
