Question

Andy is put in a cell with a dirt floor and only one window. The window is too high for him to reach. The only thing in the cell is a shovel. He won’t be able to get any food or water and only has two days to escape or he’ll die. Andy can’t dig a tunnel because it will take him much longer than two days to do it. How will Andy escape from the cell?

Answer 1

Andy will dig the dirt under him near the wall. .until the heap of dirt is high enough for him to climb up and reach the window

Answer 2

The given puzzle can be solved very easily by the following approach:

• It is given that Andy is put inside a cell with a dirt floor and with a single window. But the window is very high for him to reach.
• The only thing that is present in the cell is the 'Shovel'.
• He has got only 2 days to escape from the cell or else he will die and also he can't get any food and water.
• Using the Shovel Andy can't dig a tunnel to escape because it takes him more than 2 days to do it.
• Now the only that Andy has to escape is to reach the window somehow and he has only a shovel.
• The best thing that he can do is to dig the sand out of the floor and use it to build a platform to reach the window.
• It is the only feasible way to get him out of the cell.
