there was a block of ice that he stood on to tie the rope and jump off.
But for the question to be totaly deceptive in the water, it should have built up the fact that there was nothing around for the man to climb up and affix the rope to the rafter. I heard this the first time with a barn used instead of a locked room... larger space and in the middle and when the other people are trying to figure it out they love to use farm impliments in there answer, they completely forget about the water on the floor somehow.

I have also heard another problem like this, but i will give the answer, because these are ten times better to figure out in a group of people (also great for long car/ bus rides)

A woman that lived next to the Mississippi River was found dead in her bed one April morning. When the detectives arrived on the scene, they quickly assesed that her untimly death was caused by a pair of scizzors, and she had no visible signs of a stuggle. Later the autopsy revealed she had drown. How did she die? Was there foul play?

Of cource the bed was a water bed, and the scizzors punctured the matress and she drown that way.
