Trick
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
You have as much rope as you need. A poor man walks up to a big pit. He wants to get across to get the jewels. He can't walk across the pit or the snakes will kill him. He can't go around because the foxes will get him. How does he get across?
Answer
Fill the hole up with rope and walk across.Hide Answer Show Answer

Very nice!
No *I* have the rope and I will NOT use it to fill the pit for the poor man.
you're mean^
But if he walks across to get the jewels then I will get him!! Muahahahaha!!
i said he picked up two sticks and held them perpendicular to each other (he made a cross...)
yeah its my rope...
i said build a rope bridge
i said build a rope bridge
those are all great idea's i think they are better than the anwer is, great tease though
The League Against Cruelty to Snakes would be on your tail; as would the foxes which obviously can walk where you do!
weird
cuz it's MY rope
and what jewels?
cuz it's MY rope
and what jewels?
besides, if i could get the jewels with the rope, he wouldn't get any jewels because i'd have them already...
you might want to clerify that there are jewels on the other side. but otherwise great teaser
If you were really talented, why couldn't you just knot the rope and lasso the jewels or something?
Why not just make a rope ladder? And wouldn't the man need to borrow your rope first? That might work as well. Anyway, good teaser!
I was thinking of making an actual cross shape with the rope. Good teaser!
Won't the foxes still be able to get him?
Don't I have the rope, not the poor man.
If you fill up the pit with rope, then the snakes can come out :/
I get it. it's an insult. he's saying that you have the rope and the poor guy has to get across. the poor guy uses his rope. but the poor guy doesn't have any rope. thats you. you're the one who has the rope and you're also the poor guy. Getitgotitgood.
I got "he walked across the bridge." It never said anything about their being no bridges.
I just said he jumps across...how big is this pit anyway?
I'm pretty sure I'd just walk past the foxes. They're foxes, not man-eating tigers.
But anyway, great teaser. =D

He wouldn't walk across the pit, he would stomp loudly and the snakes would shy away.
I can only imagine the foxes are rabid; never have I heard anything ever about them harming humans.
