you may know the answer to this already, but i am posting this riddle for more reasons than simply solving it.

a man is in a 6-sided room. the room has no doors or windows. the only objects the man has are a mirror and a table. how does he get out?

and in 3 days u will rise...


haha...

He uses google, then moves on to something to make his and everyone else's life a little better:

now thats cheating and you know it. what do you learn by going to google?

"navigation systems: if you dont know how you got there, how do you know where you are?"

thanks for only posting the link instead of full the full answer so others can put themselves to the task.

this question was put to me in grade 4 by our G.A.T.E. teacher (gifted and talented education). it was a program some of us went to once a week to do creative problem solving etc. best part of my education by far. nobody in the class got the answer, but ill never forget the lessons it taught me.

Discernment.  There is far more incorrect answers found on google than correct ones; such is our life these days.

I can only assume I'm somewhere between zero and infinity for each of my three axes of freedom.  So if I need a reference point, I simply set X, Y & Z equal to infinity / 2, then track my relative motion.  This is the only means to associate my awareness with reality.

This is a forum of people who work out problems, and have discussions.

in fact i asked the correct question, and every one has ignored it.

the predicted out come knowing what we know about reality is..dictates the answer i provided.   unless u wish to discuss a argument that is closer then our reality. i say live in the world that you live in. ignore what is presented by others,. and then suffer the consequences of our failure to seek the truth..


ALL THAT NOW SAID. YOU HAVE YOUR CHOICE. LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND CREATE A IMAGE IN YOUR HEADS.

now in reality did you produce a SAW?

Sad but true.
But then I'd be busy checking out lame jokes more.

i solved the riddle... therefore can predict that the Norway spiral originated on earth. perhaps even a thrust was produced. if it was not originated on earth it would have to be a mirror of the same..

How does the Norway spiral have anything to do with this riddle?  Free I can't help but give my opinion that a lot of your posts are more of a riddle than the riddle presented here.

try to solve this riddle


Humans have struggled to calculate for thousands of years. Divide the circumference of a circle by its diameter; the ratio is . Sounds simple, but the devil is in the digits. While the value of is finite (a smidgen more than 3), the decimal number is infinitely long:

3.1415926535897932384626433832795
02884197169399375105820974944592307
81640628620899862803482534211706...more

Supercomputers have succeeded in calculating more than 2700 billion digits and they're still crunching. The weirdest way to compute : throw needles at a table or frozen hot dogs on the floor. Party time.




wtf is party time and sharp points got to do with anything.. and why toss them at the table..?

answer this question please...



i make a prediction for second spiral 6 years out or much sooner...

here is your table...

this is a classic word puzzle.
the man looks in the mirror to see what he saw. he took the saw, cut the table in half, put the halves together to make a whole and climbed out the hole.
its a groaner.
heres the thing:
in certain context, this answer makes complete sense, even though the logic has no place in the real world. it is a manipulation of known (words) to produce a desired outcome, which just happens to be absolutely ridiculous. it works in theory, philosophically.... but will never be reality.
frustrating, right?
would it make any sense to replicate this? of course not. even to imply that is ridiculous.  trying to figure out what the man did with the table and mirror is a waste of time.
i have my own opinions about how this lesson applies, and i think thats about all im gonna say about that.

aw that's :P to bad u should have never brought it up then..


by the way i see you or anyone else still cant answer a single question..


stick with mirrors, ma -by u will get a close look at yourself , and discover what  you see instead.? 

later  we can talk about what u learned, and if the  glass of water-is  half full.. cheers
 
congrats, u added absolutely nothing in the name of science.. crawl back under your table, and look in the mirror,

cheers...leave the riddles to people who care... :P
