There is an open tap at a corner of the room from which great amounts of water get into the room. What can the man do to escape from drowning, if he only has a large rope and a bucket that can hold up to 5 liters of water?

Some times the answer is so simple we are blinded by options -- got me. Good one.
...or he could hang himself from the tap!
Or he could hold the bucket upside down and creat an air pocket. ..of course he'll run out of air in about 5 minutes but, hey, it worth a shot because a tornado might come through and rip out a wall and release all the water... or something.

the water can't come in as long as the air can't come out.
the water would run out though the crack under the door.
It will come out again IF there's a crack.
Hold on. Most doors can be unlocked from the inside. Why didn't he just unlock the door?
HE WOULDN'T DROWN ANYWAYS BECAUSE THE WATER WOULD GO DOWN THE DRAIN.....
It says the place is locked. Doesn't say he doesn't have a key or can't unlock it to get out.
