Riddle - How do you get the ping pong ball?!
Question: There is a ping pong ball stuck in the bottom of a two-foot long hollow steel pipe, just narrow enough for it to fit (about 1/8 inch of clearance between the ball and the inside pipe walls). The pipe is encased in concrete and cannot be pulled out of the ground. You have the following items: a magnet, a small pocket knife, two paper clips, a three-foot long nonmagnetic brass rod, a twelve-inch long piece of string, and a plastic fish hook. You do NOT have access to anything else at all except the items above.

Fill the pipe with water! If you don't have access to water I guess you could pee in it.
First, you use the knife to slice a hole in the ping-pong ball. Then, you attach the hook to the string, u then lower the string, w/ the fish hook on it, down the tube and get the hook in the hole. Finally, u lift it out! YAY!
Post the rite answer l8r cause I wanna know
Argh. I wasn't going to answer anything NEAR 'pee in the pipe'! Very very nice riddle ;)
drop the paper clips down with the ping pong ball. Then use the magnet (hopefully it's strong) to attract the paper clips. they'll have fallen underneath the ping pong balls when they went down, but should lift it up when they come out.
tie the string to the pole,then
lmao make it float
Drop the paper clips in the pipe so it goes under the ping pong ball. then tie the string to the magnet and put it down the pipe. then lift it up!
