Stumped me. Nice play on words!
Had to look at the answer on this one to get it. Nice word play.
Wordplay!
I thought, 'with my mouth'...i think i'm a little too literal
Tooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard stumped me
Wouldn't the dates eventually rot?

I figured the guard would eventually have to drop a frozen dinner through the sky light.
I've done this exact same one in elementary school! I can't believe its never been posted at Braingle before. Nevertheless, congrats to whoever created the teaser first
i made heard it from a friend long ago.
thx guys for comments
thx guys for comments
Great teaser! I think it would make more sense though if it said "what would you eat and drink" instead of "how would you eat and drink"
i'm with katelin - i answered "i would eat with my hands and mouth", because that's *how* i eat...what i eat is a different question - good teaser though!
Nice, I guessed take a bedpost and smash the walls face in but....thats works too
good one, i got it after looking at "trick". Cuz' ive heard stuff like this.
silly goose .. i though the same exact thing ... must be something in the name!!
you liked it thoguh lol

My question is how did I get in the room if there were no doors or windows!? And what was there to lock if there weren't windows or doors? Other than that it was a good play on words. I enjoyed it!
lol a fell in to a vortex then the vortex disapeared!
I would rather just hibernate... but a tricky teaser!
thank you guys for the wonderful comments
Nice play on words but.....
this is a good one, i have heard on just like it. this one is good though
Danx
huh? my guess was to eat the matress and calender then start eating yourself but i guess that works 2.
It was a great one. Made me laugh. I thought about eating the bed and calander also. I have been reading all of the past trick and thought this was another stupid and easy one. I had given up on trying to think about it.
LOL
ya just eat it its good!
ya just eat it its good!
Nice wordplay, but a bit too figurative.
what do u mean?????
i liked it even though i didnt get it
ok....lol
well a date is a fruit.
And you have dates on the calender.
A spring is where you get water from.
theere are springs on your bead.

Kind of odd......
cute... i got the date part, but i was stumped on the water. but how did you get in here if there no doors or windows???? I guess I think too literally sometimes
hey thats
OMG BANN HER GIVE HERE NEGITIVE KARMA!
ha ha ha no.
wow, that was a really mean comment from sk8erfun. good thing it was erased. i thought it was an awesome puzzle. i've already heard it before, but i still didn't get it! I guess i don't really have a good memory when it comes to those things! anyway, great one!
But what if the bed was one of those Tempurpedic things? J/k
i didn't know you had to live when you ate something i just thought you had to eat SOMETHING so i said eat the bed and the calendar... that was a smart play on words though
i thought it was really easy but that is because i have heard it before
wow- i really had no idea. u stumped me. i thought that it was like a trick question or something- u know like the ones that have no answers
A bunch of people seemed to ask this before I could, but without windows or doors how the devil did you even get in there? I was thinking of eating the matress too and as for a liquid supply I just thought of doing what Leonado Dicaprio (sp?) did in the Aviator.
Well he got sucked into the wrong matrix world then the vortex thing vanished
i didnt get this one i answered that i would have eaten the bed and the calender
I thought I was in Jail and the food was delivered!!! haha Good one!!
great play on words, even though i've heard something like it before it before . i had to look at the answere to get the dates bit......looks like my memory's really great.....
Nice one! But wouldn't you suffocate? I mean you never said there was air in there. For all I know this could've been built on the moon. LOL Nice one!
LOL! Good one.
:huh:
I liked this one. Thanks.
Good fun! Thanks for posting it.
Wouldnt you sufficate with no air coming into the room?
One problem: there's only 365 dates. Not nearly enough to survive on for any substantial amount of time.
