Okay, here is one riddle I heard, I think it is from some card game called mindtrap or something like that.


You are locked in a room, only one exit. To get out there is a combination
lock.

There is a circular hole in the ground about two inches in diameter and about five inches deep. At the bottom of the hole is a ping pong ball, with the combination to the lock written on the side.

How do you get out of the room?



Some points of clarifications.

You can't manage to read the combination without getting the ping pong ball into your hands and looking at it real close.

You have no tools. Heck, let's even say you have no clothes either.

Your fingers can't reach in and pluck the ping pong ball out, it's too far in, and your whole hand doesn't fit in the hole.

The room has no resources for you to use. It's an empty bank vault or something equally inhospitable.
