A lighthouse keeper decides to take a bath an hour before the next lighthouse keeper comes to relieve him of his shift.
This lighthouse keeper is having a bad day. First he accidentally locks himself in the bathroom, so he's not going to be able to get out until the next lighthouse keeper arrives and is able to unlock the bathroom from the outside.
He decides this isn't going to put him off having his bath, and so starts running the bath. Then the bath faucet's knob breaks off! He's unable to turn the bath water off. The walls and door of the bathroom are completely water tight. At this rate, the bathroom is going to be completely full after 55 minutes.
How does our lighthouse keeper avoid drowning?
Answer
The walls and door may be water-tight, but the bathtub is not, there has to be an outflow. So he just has to pull the outflow-plug.
