A riddle

[Ratatosk]

Salaam,

Okay, okay, heeeere's 1 for ya:

The ingredients:
-A perfectly square room, aligned perfectly in a north-south direction;
the corners are northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast.
-The walls of the room are exactly 60 feet long
-A man (very thirsty)
-A chair
-A rope, exactly 75 feet
-A table
-A big bucket of water

The setting:
A man is sitting on a chair in the southwestern corner of the room, tied to a rope.
A big bucket of water is on a table in the northeastern corner of the room.(The size of the table is negligible.)


The man is veeeery thirsty.

Given this setting, the man does not die of thirst.

How can this be?

peace

Erm... actually, forget that one, here's another:

There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?

I haven't a clue

I have no idea

P.S. *sniff . . .sniff* Jus' like old times. *sob . . sob* I never had any ideas nor any clues *sniff . .sniff*

The man's tied to a rope, right? It's not unheavable, even though it's 75 feet long. So he stands up, walks over to the bucket, sweating a little because he has to tug this rope behind him and he's very thirsty. He reaches the bucket and dips his head in... and drinks water. Ah, bliss.

Salaam,

and still tell which water came from which jug?

One of the jugs was frozen.

[Osman]

Precisely what I meant! :shakehead

Oh, okay Osman, here's the clue:

FLUIDS mix up when put together.

Salaam Osman,

Your turn to give a riddle now! And Ratatosk hasn't yet confirmed my obviously-right answer ...

I forgot all about that thread, by the way... how did you remember?

Don't forget to tell me your username!

NO if you're looking for a yes or no answer I know it's not right. I have to put an input

Salaam,

Osman, I've added ye to my Friends list...

Ratatosk, I explained the simplicity of it all previously... he's tied to the rope, but the rope cannae hold him down, so he can walk over to the bucket... ^_^

(I know I'm wrong, don't worry)
