hang on - What was a fish doing wearing a parachute?
I am in a square room with 4 walls, a roof and a floor. There are no windows (and no spaces for windows
) and no door (and no space for a door) The room is made from concrete. I have a chair and a saw - how do I escape?

Is the chair part of the wall, legs one side, back the other and seat along its plane, then you cut a hole in the seat, whilst holding each and every breath
