MindTrap #8

Posted in Mindtrap Monday

I've been doing this for 8 weeks? Doesn't seem like that long. I hope for the summer to go back to my Book Review Mondays for summer reading options. But for now I'll toss out a few more of these delights for the crazy people who like to think harder than they should. LOL

Sid Shady is in prison and is planning his escape. The cell he is in measures three meters by three meters by three meters. The walls are made of reinforced concrete and they extend two meters below the dirt floor. The only openings in the cell are a locked door and a skylight one metter in diameter. Sid thinks he has found a way to escape so he begins by digging a tunnel. He knows that he can't tunnel himself out, but digging a tunnel is crucial to his plans. How does he plan to escape?

I'm horrible at mindtraps, I wish I could do them better! Just wanted to let you know I'm hosting Tuesday Reviews now, anything at all you want to review-products you use, books, curriculum, anything. I have already learned so much from others, they have reviewed cleaning products, books, shaver, its been fun. If you ever want to join us, I would love it. You always do such great reviews!

Using the dirt from the tunnel he's digging, he can pile it up below the skylight and reach high enough to pull himself out.

I say he's digging a hole right in front of the door so the guard falls in. Then he can get out the open door.

Why, Mr. Shady will dig a hole, pile up the dirt, and crawl out the skylight! Although I do wonder what 'one metter in diameter' is... What's a 'metter'? :-P

(I have seen this one before, though)
