    Re: FalseTruth's Lateral Thinking Puzzle #1

    Was the item a note mentioning how he was released due to bail or new found information clearing his name after an accidental charge?

    Was the item a tool that could be used to help escape illegally by means of tunneling or a key to open the door? Perhaps something that could be used to cut the iron rods?

    If he were to get out the day afterwards, that would mean it was fast. Having a legal escape is fast, or an escape like the one in Iron Man 2. if it was a tool it would take long and would be more like Shawshank Redemption, and he'd be out in like 20 years.

    The man was out of jail the next day.
    The man was without a job. He took a job as a jailer and was sent to prison to work. He did such a good job that his friend, the warden, gave him a promotion. Now he works outside the prison.

    Re: FalseTruth's Lateral Thinking Puzzle #1

    Is the jail literal? (not monopoly)
    Was the man a prisoner?
    Was he set free?
    Was he free in any other way? (not just being transported, on bail, etc)
    Is "his luck" relevant?
    Was he given him a physical object?

    Re: FalseTruth's Lateral Thinking Puzzle #1

    The jailer in a game of Mafia jailed this man, he talked to him for a day and gave him a warning. This warning was that if he were to be revealed as a lier he would swear to kill him himself. The jailer released the prisoner the next day as his plea as innocent was viewed as truth for the time being.
