If you are in a concrete room and there is no door window or anything normal way out and all that is in the room with you is a mirror and a table how do you get out? Try to figure it out it might be a little tough.

The better question is if I'm trapped in a concrete box with no doors or windows, how did I get there in the first place, and how am I still breathing with no source of oxygen? For that matter, how can I see anything when there's no source of light in this room? It would be pitch black!

I am terrible at these things and the only way out I can think of is dark... REALLY dark... It involves breaking the mirror and using the shards to... well, like I said, it was dark.

crack the glass so it can cut , take the table and cut it in half, from there you simply put the two halves together and crawl through the hole (whole)

How would you cut a table with a shard from a mirror? Unless the table was made of paper or something.

he never specified the table's material, technically you don't need the mirror for that though.

Why would it matter? Most tables I've seen are made of wood, plastic or some form of metal, none of which could be cut in half by a mirror shard. If you had a table that COULD be cut by a mirror shard, it'd be so flimsy that you couldn't use it as a table.

Ha ha ha! You only THINK I am stuck in a concrete room, but that is a lie! In all actuality, I have captured THE REST of the universe in concrete. After all, if there is no normal way for me to reach the rest of the universe, there is no normal way for the rest of the universe to reach me! It just happens that I lack a lot of money, so all I could afford was this table and a mirror.*

*In a closed universe, starting at the concrete, they can go in any direction and if they overcome the expansion of the universe, they will eventually return back... staring at the opposite side of the concrete. So you see, both are cages, I've just been extremely generous and made theirs far LARGER then mine.
____

Of course... assuming I get bored... heh, that might be true soon. There are a NUMBER of ways I can escape this situation and free the universe from it's concrete cell! For instance, in building this, I couldn't afford to pay my income taxes, so in a few weeks, the tax man will show up with an audit. After I don't respond and laugh at him, he will return with a jackhammer and take away my table and mirror to pay for back taxes :(.

If I desire to leave sooner however, I could lucid dream and walk THROUGH the mirror. After all, in dreams, mirrors are actually a somewhat thick highly reflective fluid with other worlds on the other side. Then when I wake up, I conclude thoroughly that I am not living in the old world but in the "mirror world" - I will be certain of this a few hours later when my ENTIRE biological structure decays because it now holds the inverse CHIRALITY, leaving me to die a horrible painful death.

At this point, leaving becomes a necessity however, because releasing the universe from my concrete cage will help me attain a higher plane of existence. Consequently, I will rejoin them on the other side by going up to Heaven. They may however, be forever trapped from acquiring my table and chairs... at least until the tax man comes.

Maybe it's an origami table. (Though I can't imagine the purpose of such a thing. @_@) Or, a doll-sized table? That might be flimsy... I dunno. XD

Well, it would have worked with a one way mirror, as long as the way was going out.

ehh, balsa wood can be cut by glass, and it doesn't say how big the table is, and some tables made of wood or glass are not very stable to begin with, made just for vases and magazines and things. Balsa wood is used in model airplanes, so whether or not it would be structurally sound depends on how the table were built and what you were using it for. There are also plastic tables and pressboard tables, both of which could be gouged repeatedly till there were a hole. Still, none of those would provide a way out, unless the table were a secret portal and opening a hole in the table created a gateway or wormhole to Super Mario Land, in which case i'm just a meteor rock away from Brooklyn.

I looked up the answer and I've got to say, it's stupid. Let's just say that those of you who said to cut the table in half and put it back together again to create a hole (whole) are close.

I don't understand why we have cut the table in half once the mirror is broken. Can't we just put the mirror back together and create out whole out of that? For that matter, why to we have to break them in the first place? We've already got one whole table and one whole mirror.

Nah. It'd be like the early levels where the second portal is created for you.

Okay, so, like most people, my first move would be to break the mirror. Then I would stand on the table (Assuming it isnn't an origami table) and try hacking away at the ceiling. Yes, I knw, how is a mirror supposed to cut a ceiling, but what else am I supposed to do?
