Trapped with Objects, but Still Finds a Way Out
Riddle:
A man is trapped in a locked room. He has only a piano, a calendar, and a bed. Yet he manages to eat, drink, and escape. How?
Answer:
Answer: He uses wordplay – he “dates” the calendar (gets a date), “drinks” from the bed (because it has “springs”), and “keys” the piano (to unlock the door). Explanation: This riddle relies on puns: “date” = food/date, “spring” = water spring, and “keys” = piano keys = door keys.
