| This is a very old riddle, I've been telling that one since I was 8  but it's still a good classic, though it lacks the brain thinking. |

| I just submitted this teaser, although mine was a little wordier (Obviously, it was rejected). Kudos for you, though, for getting it on here. It is a good one, although most people I know groan upon hearing the answer.  |

| How about this? If the only thing in the room was a mirrow, wouldn't everything be made of said mirror? Just break the mirror and walk out! |

| why can't he just smash the mirror into pieces.
if there are 6 pieces, then the 6 pieces together make a whole (hole, which he can climb out of), and the same applies if there were 777,777 shards of glass.
I bring this point up, because I, for one, HAVE actually attempted to saw a mirror in half, and it didn't work at all! |

| But if he broke the mirror, he'd get bad luck!
I didn't like this one. Ugh, how many times have I heard this, or a variation of this, trick?
And it isn't logical! I'd never get out of a room like that! |

| I first thought that the mirror could be used to signal up to some overhead airplane or something since there was nothing said about whether there's a ceiling or not...
but then I had to chuckle because the answer "sounds good". Can't wait to start telling people that one, because I need to lose more friends! (I actually hadn't heard it before!) |

| how'd you get into the room in the first place? no windows, no doors, no way out - doesn't that mean there's no way in?
otherwise you get out the way you got in! |

| I had break the mirror into shards, use one of the shards to cut your hand so it's sore, and use the saw to cut a holw in the wall blah blah blah.
A million and one variations on this. |

Brain Teasers are supposed to make you think literally, laterally and logically...but these type of teasers are moronic. |

| thats is really stupid, it dosen't make any sense when you say see what you saw, you are changing tense in the middle of the sentance if you look in the mirror you couldn't have seeen teh same thing twicde because the person you see is older every time so you wont be seeing what you saw |

| How did you get in in the first place? It is impossible to see the past so how could you see what you saw?  |
extragrace
Aug 15, 2007
| it is impossible to get out because the riddle says that there is no way out. |

| does this room have a ceiling, a floor, or any walls? you might already be out |

| I have heard and told that one all my life, lol. But the answer was wordier and there was a table. For mine, the answer was always:
You look in the mirror, you see what you see, you saw what you saw, you take the saw, cut the table in have, two halves make a whole, so you climb through the hole. |

 Like anyone would think of that. And yeah, the only way to get him in there would be to knock him unconcious for a month and build the house around him... |

| Duleo and kataang160, they could've built the walls and floor first. Then they build the roof, but don't put it on. They drop him in using a helicopter, he survives because the helicopter is so low to the ground, and then they immediately put the roof on. |

| Can't you just break the mirror yourself without a saw and then put them together to create a whole? |

| This is one of those teasers that you are not going to be able to get if this is the first time you heard it. Because of that, I don't think these kinds of teasers should be on braingle, but they are really good to tell to your friends. I do like this riddle, just not on paper. |
