You are at the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Your hands are handcuffed behind your back. In your pocket is a C-shaped hook. What is your best strategy to escape the tower alive?
Answer
Since your legs are still free, you can walk down 1,665 steps, or ride the elevator to the ground floor. Just be sure that if you take the stairs, you do not trip and fall.Hide Answer Show Answer

nice teaser! how would you get in that situation anyway?? :S
umm, you're talking from the second level. The top is very high up, and if there are stairs then they don't let people use them (they must make more money from the elevator ride to the top)
Nice one. And man thats alot of steps.
C shaped hook? I don't get it. Nor do I get the rating for this one which currently say it is lots of fun and very easy. Wha?
jumping would save you legs the walking!!!
nice and hard and a bit weird. who would wanna build all those steps :wink
"Who would want to build the steps?" Umm.. how about the tourist industry, which could make LOTS of money from people who want to climb the tower?
lol that guy must have been in trouble,i was having him think of jumping and put himself out of his miseries, i mean u must be desperate to get chased to the top of the eiffel tower
wait a min if he was hand cuffed the police probably were chasing him and probably coming up the steps,omg what a stuid teaser!!!
How did u get up in the first place?
Yay I guessed right. Fun teaser!
