Anyone like riddles? I heard this really good riddle recently

I don't know yet, but I think it's odd that the note is on the other side of the wall... Maybe he just goes to the other side of the wall where the note is and continues on.

He doesn't choose to live in the "room", because the note is on the other side of the wall. Is this the solution?

Jackal, its a jackal!

No but seriously the tool is a map.

He ignores the boxes (which does not "cheat" to find what's under them), leaves the room (which the riddle doesn't forbid like it does living in the room forever) and wanders the maze until he finds a way out (which the riddle says is possible with the tools, but doesn't say is impossible without them) thus escaping, satisfying the requirement of "death or escape."

That solves the riddle TO THE LETTER, buddy. No changing it this time.

But what happens if he encounters a henway whilst happily wandering the maze?

But he says "He lifts a box, takes the tool, and then uses said tool to escape the maze." He also asks what the tool is.

LDOPA is a tool. Don't waste time on his riddles. They have no clever, funny, or intelligent answers. Still two other tools and a zero will spend days in this stupid maze of a riddle just to find out that what I say is true. If you're getting pissed off by LDOPA for tricking you and say so, the Minotaur moderator will delete your posts and ban you.

The boxes are on the table and the tools are under the boxes. So the tools are on the floor, visible for anyone.

He didn't specify that it was one of the ten boxes in the minotaur room. You wander the maze until you find another box. He did not say there wasn't another box somewhere else, and he didn't say there wasn't a shovel under it, with which you can dig your way up out of the dungeon. He didn't stress that the solution must be unique, indeed it's absurd to think there would be a unique solution with the information given, so "the tool" can be taken to mean any tool that would work.

As usual BW's posts are neither intelligent nor witty.

As usual nobody thinks ____er of ____ is more than one idiot just because he fills in the blanks differently each time.

The number of recognizers will not improve your posts.

Maybe certain death refers to the Minitaur's demise and not the man.

The man in the maze represents a man lost in life, wandering aimlessly.

The room with the boxes represents a point in time when he needs to make a decision; he has 10 options. Six of those will result in certain death, one will result in no change and three will result in a map.

The map is his plan for the future (escape the maze) and a better life.

The crux is that regardless of what decision he makes, death is certain (certain does not mean immediate) - whether he is stuck in the maze or has escaped, he will certainly... eventually... die.

There is nothing inside the boxes, just a decision to make, does he accept his fate and wander aimlessly through life or does he try to escape the maze and achieve something great.

Which box would you open?

If there's "nothing" under one of the boxes, does that mean there's literally an absence of anything and instead of the table underneath, it's a door or hatch and that's the way to escape?

The box is a google search.

Could the solution be to lift a box out of the way, climb up on the table underneath, and climb on top of the wall? I don't think it was mentioned anywhere that this maze had a ceiling. The tool in this instance would be the table itself.

I know it's unlikely, but I'm trying to think *outside the box.*

It's all one big freakin metaphor. None of this is real. Thus there is no riddle to solve.

Is it the third box?
