Yentingyenta: Here’s one for you then [which isn’t a riddle…]
There was a very lazy, rich man who paid his servants to carry him around wherever he went. When he needed to use the bath, his servants would place him inside, and close the door, locking it from the outside. He would shout ‘HOT’ and they would pour hot water down a tube until he shouted ‘COLD’ or ‘OFF’. One day, he lost his voice. He shouted ‘HOT’, and they began pumping hot water through. To his horror, when he shouted ‘OFF’, they couldn’t hear him over the sound of the water. So water was coming in still.
The room was so small it had exactly enough room for the bath on all sides, and the door opened outwardly to let him out. There was no way of getting out. The water was rising in the tiny room, and eventually he would drown.
WHAT SHOULD HE DO TO SAVE HIMSELF?
