Perchance this is a one way mirror?

[Ethanadams]

Nope it's just a mirror nothing special

[Xannari Ferrows]

How'd you even get in there in the first place?But regardless, you can always quantum tunnel outside

[UnionPacific1983WP]

Well, there are no windows or doors, but you never said there were no holes for the windows or doors!

[Ethanadams]

It is a solid room no holes or open spaces only a mirror

[cantab]

Play cricket against my reflection. Then I'll get out.

[Ethanadams]

Nope.

[cantab]

Oh hang on, I remember this one. Stop imagining. Right?

[Ethanadams]

Yes that is a way I guess but not the one I am looking for if no one gets the right answer within the next 3 day I will give it to you

[Starwhip]

Hmm. Well, if you look at it one way, you're out already if you look in the mirror. Because your reflection is "outside" the room.

Either that or break the mirror. .-.

[cantab]

The same way I got in. Obviously I got in the room somehow.

[Ethanadams]

Nope nope and nope

[Guest]

You forgot to put a collision mesh on one of the walls, so you can just walk through it.

[cantab]

Break the mirror, reassemble it into a whole, climb out the room through the (w)hole.

[Ethanadams]

again that could be away to do it but not the answer i was looking for

[Xannari Ferrows]

Oh this has to do with wordplay? Well, if you look at a wall, you see the wall, then if you look at the mirror, you see what you saw. Saw your way out.

[Ethanadams]

Close enough xannari wins

the answer I was looking for was you look in the mirror see what you saw take the saw and cut a hole in the wall

[Xannari Ferrows]

I got it, and I'm not sure if I've used this one before but here we go:

A man walks into a bar and orders a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a loaded gun on the man. He responds with "thank you" and walks out.

Why did he thank the bartender?

The man thanks the bartender for not shooting him.

[cantab]

It was a water pistol.

[Xannari Ferrows]

Come on now, it wouldn't be that simple.

[cantab]

It's some sort of secret spying or dodgy dealing, "glass of water" is a codephrase, and pulling out the gun is the expected response to that.

---

"On the man" is literal. The man who asked for the water had a loaded gun on his person in an unsafe manner and didn't realise for whatever reason. Or maybe the gun is a booby trap designed to shoot the man if he tries to remove it. The bartender did him a favour by removing it safely.

---

The bartender is a devotee of xkcd's What If series and seeks to recreate the scenarios therein, including Glass Half Empty. The man only remembers this after asking for a glass of water. All things considered, for the bartender to pull out a gun is one of the least threatening things he can do.

---

EDIT: The man has a speech impediment. He was actually saying something else that rhymes with "thank you" and that I'm not allowed to type out on this forum.

[Xannari Ferrows]

I've seen the xkcd page, but I had no idea about the glass of water thing. And no, "on the man" is not literal, otherwise there would have been a comma there.

[cantab]

They're actors in a play, film, TV show, or whatever. Pretty much every scenario can be explained like that

[Xannari Ferrows]

Okay, we need this:

If someone suddenly pulled a gun on you, how would you feel?
