Smart Convicts

Two convicts are locked in a cell. There is an unbarred window high up in the cell. No matter if they stand on the bed or one on top of the other they can’t reach the window to escape. They then decide to tunnel out. However, they give up with the tunneling because it will take too long. Finally one of the convicts figures out how to escape from the cell. What is his plan?

  Since they are able to make a tunnel they should dig holes in the wall to make a ladder to reach the window.

  Great answer K, but not the one we were looking for. Anybody else have any creative thoughts?
