A man was in the middle of the Arctic ocean with only a kerosene stove and a pickaxe. He had plenty of food but he didn't have water. He somehow got water each day.

How did he do this?

Answer:

He chipped off pieces of icebergs with his pickaxe, then he melted them with his stove. When melted, icebergs become fresh water even if they are in saltwater.
