    In a room there is a hole in the ground 30cm deep and diameter 4cm. There is a ping-pong ball in it. You have a piece of 50cm string and a watch(with useable pins, straps etc). How do you get the ping-pong ball?

    if i remember anything i learned in the eighties correctly its that a watch with removable pins and some string are the exact components necessary to build a small explosive device which should blow the hole wide enough for you to simply pick the ball out :D:D:D

    OTliddy, do you pish in the hole or what?

    Volume of the hole in the ground is about 377cm^3 (I assumed it was supposed to be a cylinder), and seemingly the volume of the average human urination is about 475cm^3. So it's possible!

    To throw you off. They're red herrings.

    A ping-pong ball is 4cm, so how would it float to the surface?:D

    And the average piss is nearly half a litre? I didn't know that...
