He cut the chair into rungs, made a ladder and climbed out? (The description doesn't say that the cubicle was enclosed.)

I have to leave from Australia tomorrow morning and I don't want to leave this riddle hanging for a month and also several people have solved in PM to me...

Probably the best solve was Tabata as she solved it for real without previous knowledge and also in english which is not her native language so I will award her the win and post the solution below hidden:

Spoiler

He sawed the chair in half, then put the halves back together to make a whole, and then crawled out through the hole.

Maybe Stupot can launch a Part 2 where players must figure out how our hero got back to civilization after escaping his prison and finding himself stranded out in the middle of nowhere...

Seeya's all again in January sometime!

Thanks Mandle. I'll take part 2 then :-)
Bear in mind this is also a very silly solution.

So our hero has escaped from the cell only to find himself in the middle of a desert. How does he manage to get back to civilization^?

YES

NO

does he need any equipment other than the clothes on his back to get to civilization?

Kweepa · Mon 18/12/2017 05:19:18

Does he inflate that tiny question mark into a hot air balloon?

He adds an "S" to the desert and eats his way through the dessert?

Kweepa · Mon 18/12/2017 17:58:42

Does he ride the "bear in mind" back to civilization?

Tabata · Mon 18/12/2017 19:17:37

I just know it in case it is ... hmm ...

Is he in the desert you can see on the box of Camel cigarettes?

Kweepa · Mon 18/12/2017 19:52:19

Does he catch his train of thought to the nearest city?

dayowlron · Mon 18/12/2017 20:15:26

How about if he was in the middle of the desert he just walked a little ways then he was no longer in the middle of the desert so he was back to civilization?

Stupot · Thu 21/12/2017 02:41:20

These answers are all terrible. And by that token they are just as valid as the real answer. Keep thinking along those lines.
But as a little hint, he does have to do something.

There's a computer in the middle of the desert (solar powered) and he boots up Sid Meiers' classic game!

Riaise · Thu 21/12/2017 19:48:18

Does he walk backwards until he reaches civilization?

dayowlron · Thu 21/12/2017 21:01:58

Is he on a movie set?

CaptainD · Fri 22/12/2017 10:27:00

He wakes up? (Oh no, the old "it was only a dream" trick!

)

Cassiebsg · Fri 22/12/2017 14:42:24

He stands up and walks out?

dayowlron · Fri 22/12/2017 15:10:26

Asked a friend, he gave me a possible solution and I think it fits very well.

Spoiler

he screams until he becomes hoarse then he rides the horse back to civilization.

We have a winner! Dayowlron, well done. Your friend probably had the same jokebook I had as a kid :-)

cool, If I don't come up with something by tonight I will open it up to anyone.
