Title: Freeze
Post by alien2 on Aug 31^st, 2013, 8:01am

You enter the grocery store to shop. Suddenly, everybody is frozen in time except for you. One minute later, you find yourself in a cubical room without openings of any kind. The room is well illuminated, yet you can't tell what the source of light is.

A deep voice addresses you: "I am your mysterious captor. You were brought here for my amusement. I am not allowed to discuss my unique technology. I will just say that at all times I know everything what goes on inside the room. I will let you go, but first there is a test.

There are no spherical objects at your disposal. But if you see the sphere within one hour, I will give you the $100 gift certificate and return you to the grocery store. If not, you'll experience severe pain caused by an energy beam before I let you go empty handed."

I am anticipating Grimbal's guess that concerns the eyes. :o :P

Pex' answer is correct.

Are you trying to say that you wouldn't poke your eye out for the gift certificate? Actually, your unexpected answer regarding tears is pretty good. I guess you have a reason to cry. After all, you are a married man. :'( :P
