Theme Thursday - Mirror
A man is a room.
There are no doors or windows.
The only things in the room (besides the man)
Are a table and a mirror.
How can he escape?
Simple.
He looks into the mirror
And sees what he saw.
With that saw he cuts the table in half.
Two halves make a whole.
So he climbs out the hole.
This story problem just popped into my head, I remember it from 7th grade algebra. Really, does that seem like a math lesson? Or logic? Hmmm, not sure if it was worth using gray matter all these many years – but there it was, waiting for just this moment in my life.

Great puzzle. Love it.
Now you've started a chain reaction; your story reminded me of that one above that I learned in jr high...
Our minds are dustbins, truly. ;-)
Please explain if you care to?
