Originally posted by Lord LetoNow, I have to say, Leto, this is really ridiculous. How are a nail, stone, and box supposed to be conjured up from an "empty" room? I imagine your next clue is going to read, "Oh yeah, the answer also involves a diving board and a spool of yarn"--in this "empty" room, of course. The room doesn't sound very empty to me.
This may sound odd but a nail (the kind you use a hamer on),a stone and a box are all elements of the solution.
Happy now? (this is my final clue)

Then he complimented himself on how well hung he was.

Ok, i reckon he hits his head against the wall untill it gets sore. He then takes the saw and cuts one of his fingers in half. Since two halfs makes one whole, the man can take the hole and put it in the wall to escape. He can then get whatever material he needs to hang himself.

Originally posted by Lord LetoI've heard a similar riddle to this before where the guy was in a room that was empty apart from a table, the answer to which is:

he rubbed his hands until they were 'sore'
he used the 'saw' to cut the table in half
two halves make a 'whole'
he jumped through the 'hole' to escape
he shouted until he was 'hoarse' and then called the 'horse' to gallop away to freedom
So i'm thinking this riddle is a similar play on words, but I can't figure out how to make a nail, stone or box!
Leto - can you at least tell me if this is along the right lines?!!
