SCENARIO: You hanging upside down...

[Mazz 0]

...in the center of a sqaure room. You are completely naked. You are low enough so that your hands can reach the floor but high enough that you cant push your body upwards. You are bound and hang by your ankles with metal shackles and chain. http://www.awesomestories.com/images/user/0f875cde25.png (Notice the pad lock)

The room you are in is a 10x10 concrete square. The walls and ceiling are completely smooth. There is a closed door on the wall in front of you with a flood light above it.

On the floor below your head is match book with 1 match, a stick of dynamite, 12 feet of nylon rope, 3 sticks of bubble gum, and a letter.

The letter reads:
There are two keys taped to the door. One unlocks your shackles and one unlocks the door. You are free to leave at any time...if you can.

First to plausibly escape wins and has to propose a new scenario. Winner will be named by myself.

In the Navy, you can't put your hands in your pockets but I was always told not to put my hands in my pockets by people with their hands in their pockets. Kinda funny huh?

tie the rope into a "monkey fist" and swing it around (and yourself too for extra reach and momentum) and hit the keys with swinging glancing blows till they peel off the tape. undo the fist and make a lasso, throw it behind the fallen keys and use the broadness of the loop to sweep the keys to you.

Great start, but I do not think you could realistically sweep the keys to yourself using that method. remember the floor smooth concrete.

To win you must escape, so all explanations should be detailed and end with you leaving the room.

I light the dynamite with the match. I have now left the room in little pieces (you never said anything about leaving alive). Next.

how about using the monkey fist to knock the keys off the tape, chew up the gum, stick it to the monkey fist, use that to pick up the keys.

unlock the shackles, pick up the dynamite and matches, unlock the door, then go find the prick that put you there and shove the lit dynamite up his ass.

Assuming the following:
1. keys are taped to the inside of the door (otherwise it's a very different problem)
2. keys are at least 10 inches off the ground (that's how far towards the corner you can reach by swinging)
3. dynamite is 8" long
4. door is centered on wall

a. chew gum, use it to stick one end of the rope to the side of the letter. Put the letter at the bottom of the door, under the keys.
b. Holding onto the dynamite, swing yourself until you're even with the keys.
c. Use the stick of dynamite to unstick the keys onto the piece of paper. For extra certainty, you can always do them one at a time, and bring the first key back, replace the paper, and do it again.
d. Unlock padlock on ankles (you might have to use the rope to haul yourself up -- throw it over the shackles)
e. voila

That would probably take forever but it could definitely work. Nice job.

Now, you have been tasked to give us the next scenario. The harder the better. Remember to be detailed in your descriptions people will exploit any weakness in your scenario.

OOH, very nice!

We might have a tie here, since your post came in before mine.

I have no ideas for a new scenario. So someone else come up with one -- lunch hour is about over...

There is no time limit. take your time, think of something challenging and post it tonight, tomorrow, or next week. No rush.

It can be done. Try it outside.

Oh yeah:
Get the keys under you pick up both keys and unlock your shackles with the correct one. Use the other key to get out the door. Use dynamite to go fishing to ease the stress of being shacked upside down.

edit.

Never mind. in a 10X10 room in which you can touch the floor suspended means, you can swing to reach the keys (that is unless they put the keys at the very bottom of the door). Swing to grab the keys and unshackle yourself then open the door.
