A man is trapped in a room with only two exits. One exit leads into a room made of magnifying glass and instantly fries anything going into it in the hot summer sun. The other door, leads into a room with a fire breathing dragon inside. How does he escape?

$\begingroup$ My friend asked me this riddle before, and I answered exactly what @El-Guest did. This means the riddle might be too easy (or already heard of, especially since it is a duplicate as the above comment points out). Try to be aware of those factors, but apart from that, there is no denying (at least for me) that this is a fun riddle :) $\endgroup$– Mr PieAug 29, 2018 at 14:32

$\begingroup$ Ooo, jeez, I don’t think you deserve that many downvotes. Seems a bit harsh... $(+1)$ :\ $\endgroup$– Mr PieAug 30, 2018 at 12:47

You have to
wait until nighttime, then leave through the magnifying glass door.

(fun answer)
He goes through the second door, fights the dragon a little, takes an arrow to the knee, eventually tames the dragon, and uses it's fire to burn a hole into the walls through which he finally escapes.
This riddle is even broader than your first one, I could tell you a hundred other ways how he "could" have escaped ;)

$\begingroup$ OK, so it is very broad but i think (like you have demonstrated) it is very fun to just come up with different answers. $\endgroup$ Aug 30, 2018 at 6:38
