You are trapped in a room with a window and a door. The window is of indestructible glass, and the door has no knobs or locks. There is a hole in the floor with a ping-pong ball in it. If you can get the ball out, the door will open. The hole is only wide enough for the ball, which rules out just sticking your hand in to pull it out. There is also a vent in the wall that is made out of some weird superstrength alien metal that won't break and a lightbulb is hanging from the ceiling as well. You have a few objects with you that might help. They are:

2 weak refrigerator magnets

1 paperclip

1 pair of kindergarden safety scissors

1 pair of curtains off of the window

1 needle

your clothes

And your most important ally, your brain. (Not that it's neccesarily a very good one, of course!)

take the needle and carefully perfarate the ball so that there is a hole in it big enought to slipthe magnent into take one of the 2 magnets tie the string to it slip it in the hole take the other tie the other end of the string to ( you get the string from the curtains) and puth them together with the thin plastic of the ball between them using the very crappy safety scissors cut the string (just because you can use all of the objects) take the paper clip tie the cut peices of string to each end take off all your clothes (gotta do something with them) use your brain and pull the ball out of the hole in the floor.
