A man is stuck in a room with four concrete walls, a concrete floor, a concrete ceiling, an unbreakable door which predictably is locked, and no windows. He has nothing with him. How does he get out?
when his sentence is up he is released?
No, he isn't in jail. Some visiting martians disintigrated him, and rebuilt him inside.
If you predict that a door is locked it never truly will be. You'll end up sitting around for about half an hour until someone smart enough to actually try the handle finds out it was open all along.

You say it has "no windows" he climbs out of the hole where the window should be.
Perhaps the room is pentagon-shaped, thus missing a wall.
Our answers don't work so far, because of his wording. It says he is "stuck" in the room. If the windows or a wall were missing then you could not possibly say he was stuck. If he is in fact "stuck" then only someone outside of the room could take him out. The answer is probably that the aliens who zapped him there take him out every once in a while for examination or feeding.
heh, I was just planning to mention that possibility
Nothing could get out of that room. So ask nothing to unlock the door once he gets out.
I believe we can safely conclude there is no possible way he can escape. The wording is airtight... wait a minute! I figured it out. He'll suffocate. He can safely leave the room once he is a ghost.
a room with
the door is locked, but from the inside... correct?
Maybe "unbreakable door" is a psychological term. The problem is he's afraid of going outside. And it's a very real problem.
A big conratulations to kev;
There are no windows - so he climbs out of the hole where the windows should be! Well done everyone, though. They were all ood guesses
