4 out of 7, I see. Not bad, I guess.

Well, here's one of my own. Let's see if anyone can guess this.

Oh, and Yshania, if you're still actively posting in this thread, please don't guess at this if you remember it.

This thing is a part of every person, and every life. It can let you live, or it can make you die. It can be many things, but it is truly one thing. What is the thing?

These are not so much riddles as exercises in abstract thinking but give it a shot.

1) You are locked in a room.

The room is constructed in a perfect cube with walls made of reinforced cement 4 feet thick.
You have only a table, a hand saw and a glass of water. How do you get out?

2) You are locked in the same room as above.
You have a fresh air supply (let's say it's a vent in the ceiling that you can't reach), a calendar and a mattress.
You have to survive for 60 days. How do you live?

Good Luck

Answers - Highlight to read

1) Cut the table in half and two halves make a whole/hole

2) Drink water from the springs in the mattress and eat dates from the calendar

Kudos to anyone that figured it out in less than 10 minutes. I've never seen it done faster than that

Mine is the same type as Dairy's

1.There has been a bush fire, you find a dead person in amongst some of the burnt trees, he is wearing a scuba diving suit, there is no evidence showing how he died, how did he die?

2.Someone has hanged himself, yet there is no possible way for him to hang himself on the rafters, the floor is wet and the heater is on full blast, how did he die?

1.The Helicopter picked him up when getting water.

2.He stood on an ice cube.

Quite passed half already, but thanks for the concern.

You've stumped me.

I have a question similar to dairy's and Oozae's (@Oozae, I've heard the Ice cube one before)

There is broken glass on the floor and it is wet. Also, you see Sally and Bob there. Dead. how'd they die?

Sally and Bob are fish, and the glass fish tank broke.

@Galuf, GOOD GOD MAN, TELL US ALREADY!
