How does a table and a mirror even fit into a box?

It’s a really big box. How did you get in there anyway?

I’m guessing through a door.

Easy.
Look at the mirror. Now look at it again. You’ll see what you just saw. Now take that saw, and cut the table in two. Those two halves make a whole. Now simply go though the hole, and you’re out!

Your avatar is perfect for this thread, it’s like Twilight’s going “are you kidding me these are way too easy.”
@Lone K
You can’t open train windows. Everyone who’s ridden one knows that.
Humm, not really. It’s far more simple, actually
@Twilitlord
Yup! That’s it.

I think I remember this one. I don’t remember how to answer properly though.
I think it was:
You looked into the mirror, you saw yourself. You take the saw, and cut the table in half. You take the halves and make them whole. You take the hole and crawl out of the box with it.
Edit: Damn I’m slow. Good job, Twilitlord.

Take table leg. Break mirror. Make spear out of shard and table leg. Kill self.
Do I win?

Yes, and then you end up with the chicken, ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Next puzzle: Ten candles stand burning in a dining room. A strong breeze blows in through an open window and extinguishes two of them. Checking back in on the candles later, you see that one more candle has gone out. To make sure no more flames go out, you shut the window. Assuming the wind doesn’t extinguish any more candles, how many candles do you have left in the end?

Unless Batman stole one, you should still have ten of them. They’re just not all lit.

10 unlit candles, because it’s your birthday!
:D
But then zero, because you threw them all out.

Three candles.
The lit candles will have burned out.
@Lone K
A person
@Wotato
Three, I think.

A person (throughout their life).
A baby crawling, an adult walking and an old man with a walking stick.
EDIT: Darnit Bob!

Oh, right. I forgot about the lit ones burning out. BUT that’s assuming you wait for a long time before checking. It’s possible that when you check back, they’re lower, if you only wait, say 1-2 hours, but if you wait longer, they’re gone.
I suppose what I want to say is it’s too vague.
I got one!

Screw that puzzle, it was too easy.
NEXT PUZZLE:
What’s the longest word in the English dictionary?

Dictionary has 10 letters, compared to 3 and 7.
Three candles is right for mine, in the final state of the candles (the end), the other seven would have melted.
Here’s a good’n
Shown above are four men buried up to their necks in the ground. They cannot move, so they can only look forward. Between A and B is a brick wall which cannot be seen through.
They all know that between them they are wearing four hats--two black and two white--but they do not know what color they are wearing. Each of them know where the other three men are buried.
In order to avoid being shot, one of them must call out to the executioner the color of their hat. If they get it wrong, everyone will be shot. They are not allowed to talk to each other and have 10 minutes to fathom it out.
After one minute, one of them calls out.
Which one of them calls out? Why is he 100% certain of the color of his hat?

C calls out.
C reasons that if Him and B had the same color hat, D would have called out the opposite color of both of their hats, and since D didn’t call out, C reasons that Him and B have different colored hats, he calls out the opposite color of B’s hat.

It doesn’t matter who he questions, as long as he accuses the correct brother. Therefore, he can question John, Mark, OR Paul.

A man is in front of a window on the twentieth floor of a building. There are no balconies on this building, or any ledges on lower levels. He takes a deep breath, jumps through the window… And survives. How?

He’s on the outside jumping in or something?

It does not state the window he’s jumping through is one that ends him up outside. He is jumping through a window on that floor that just connects two rooms.
All y’all who said he jumps in are right. So Lone K. wins.

Next Puzzle:
There are three switches downstairs. Each corresponds to one of the three light bulbs in the attic. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position.
How would you identify which switch corresponds to which light bulb, if you are only allowed one trip upstairs?

Turn one switch A, leave it on for awhile, then turn on switch B. Turn off A. Go upstairs. Feel one of the bulbs that are off. If it’s cold, it corresponds to switch C, if it’s hot, it is turned on by switch A. The bulb that is on is connected to switch B.

I already know a lot of these. I hadn’t seen the hats one, but I was going down the right train of thought to get to the solution.
Since the newer puzzle thread got locked, I will post my SUPER ULTRA HARD PUZZLE here.
My eyes among the clouds,
My fur of patches and shrouds,
My head crowned with two knobby sprouts,
I am a giraffe.
What am I?
