He's wired her up to the Teasmade...?
Woo!Much better, and far more correct

The building is a hospital and his wife is on life support?
Aye, damn power cuts eh?
A prisoner is in a room with no doors, no windows, nothing except a table. How does he get out?
HINT: You will need to sound out the words for this. And if you do manage to get it, you've a far better linguistics brain than I
He just walks out... just because there's no doors or windows doesn't means there aren't door frames or window frames .
He rubs his hands until they're SAW, uses the saw to cut the table in half, two halves make a HOLE, he jumps in the hole to escape.
Two men, 10 miles apart on a straight road walk towards each other, one at 3mph, and the other at 2mph. A dog running at 6mph leaves one man and runs until it meets the other. It then runs between the men at 6mph until all three meet. How far does the dog run?
The men cover 10 miles at a closing speed of 3+2+5 mph, taking 2 hours to meet. The dog runs for two hours at 6mph, and so covers 12 miles.

When does the dog leave the man?
A cylinder measuring 90 cm high has a circumference of 24 cm. A string makes exactly 5 complete turns round the cylinder while its two ends touch the cylinder's top and bottom. How long is the string in cm?
For the given problem, the cylinder can be unrolled into a rectangle with dimensions 90 cm by 24 cm. The string thus creates 5 diagonal lines whose measure can be found out by considering the 5 right triangles they can form: The base of the triangle is 24 cm and the height is 1/5 of 90 or 18 cm. From these workings, we can get the measurements of one diagonal line as 30 cm [i.e., (242 + 182) 1/2] by using the Pythagorean Theorem. Therefore, the whole string measures 150 cm
Doesn't matter
Jamie, Duncan and Ross are talking about their ages. Duncan realises that his age plus Ross's age is a perfect square. Ross notices that his age is an exact multiple of the sum of Jamie's and Duncan's ages. Surprisingly Jamie's age multiplied by Ross's age is a perfect cube. What are their ages?
Jamie is 3, Duncan is 9 and Ross is 72
he breaks the table in half, 2 halves make a whole so he climbs out the hole
edit: bit late
Technically, he isn't in a hole to begin with so he cant step out. He cant step into a hole either, as then the only way to get out would be to turn back the way he came. He must step through the hole. But what if he gets trapped in the void, being neither through the hole, nor not? where is he then?he breaks the table in half, 2 halves make a whole so he climbs out the hole

eh? EH?!
Given the reciprocal function 1/x, rotated around the x-axis to produce a cone of infinite length, determine the amount of paint required to:
a. Paint the surface of the cone (assume the cone has effectively zero thickness, so inside/outside is irrelevant)
b. Fill the cone with paint.

Has this not now just got to maths? Integrate x^-1 through 360degrees.

Well yes technically it's just calculus, but it's a case of interest that some might recognise
