You are in a room with no windows, doors or any exit. The only items are a mirror and a table. How do you escape?
Hint: This is not a typical brain teaser.
Look in the mirror, then at the wall and back at the mirror to see what you saw. Use the saw to cut the table in half and join the two halves to make a whole. Put the “hole” on the wall and climb out.
I know, it’s lame. I like to have brain teasers that you can realistically guess, but this one’s so popular, I feel an obligation to include it.

You have two buckets. One holds exactly five gallons and the other three gallons. How can you measure exactly four gallons of water into the five gallon bucket?
Assume you have an unlimited supply of water and that there are no measurement markings of any kind on the buckets.
Fill the 3-gallon bucket. Pour the 3 gallons of water into the 5-gallon bucket Fill the 3-gallon bucket again. Fill up the 5-gallon bucket with the 3-gallon bucket, leaving you with 1 gallon left in the 3-gallon bucket. Empty out the 5-gallon bucket. Pour the remaining 1 gallon of water from the 3-gallon bucket into the 5-gallon bucket. Fill the 3-gallon bucket. Pour the 3 gallons of water from the 3-gallon bucket into the 5-gallon bucket leaving you with 4 gallons of water in the 5-gallon bucket. Alternate solution:
