A man is trapped in a room. The room has only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters. Through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. How does the man escape?
Common Wrong Answers
“He fights the dragon.”
Fighting the dragon is likely to be fatal, as it is fire-breathing and presents an immediate lethal threat.
“He breaks a window.”
The riddle states there are only two exits (the doors), so breaking a window is not an option given the constraints of the scenario.
“He uses ice to cool the room down.”
Using ice would not change the conditions of the magnifying glass room, as it would still be deadly during the day when the sun is out.
