    A man is stuck inside a volcano with only sticky pads to get out. The volcanoe is 30,000 feet high. One day he climbs up 3,000 feet, but slides down 1,000 feet down. If this pattern continues, how many days will it take till he is out of the volcanoe?

    If I did the math right it would be 15 days.
    Or if it's more a joke riddle, that would be to long to keep up and/or he'd be cooked alive before getting out.

    It all depends on when the volcano next erupts! If it's too soon, then the point is moot!

    :angry: <-there's a visual!

    I can't remember if I have posted this one before, or not, so please forgive me if I have. But I can't think of another.

    Two Germans are in a tent. One is the father of the other one's son.
    How can this be?

    Old Mother Twitchett had but one eye, and a long tail which she let fly; and every time she went through a gap, a bit of her tail she left in a trap. What is she?
