IQPUZZLE-0079

Subject: Getting out of a lock room
Your dream is to become a secret agent.
The Big Boss of the secret service
takes into consideration your CV and
asks you out for a meal. First the BB
wants to know how you behave when you
are drunk (can you keep a secret etc...).
The BB asks you then, various questions
about your life and checks if you have
already played various sport, especially
table tennis. Do you know the rules etc..
Then after the restaurant, the Big Boss
takes you to a secret room. The BB says
to you : " Look, its kind of a joke, take
it that way. I am going to lock you into
a room in your barest minimum and I want
to know how long it will take you to get
out of it if you get out quick enough,
we'll enrol you and train you to become
a secret agent". You are supposedly open
minded and you reply " OK".
Now you are in a room.
There is a door with an electronic lock.
There is a piece of paper which stands on
the top of a vertical (hollow) copper tube.
It reads "At the bottom of this copper tube
lays a table tennis ball. Engraved on it are
the 16 numbers that you have to punch on
the keypad of the digital lock to get out
of this room if you have any problem to
open the door, I shall be back in 3 weeks
time (just "kind of" kidding). C U soon".
So inside the room there is the hollow copper
tube which stands erected vertically.
Its inner diameter is one millimetre wider
than the Ping-Pong ball which lays at the
bottom. .The hollow copper tube is firmly
cemented to the ground, so it's not possible
to turn it upside down. The emergent part
of the copper tube from the ground to the
top is 30 centimetres. Its outer diameter
is large enough to suggest that it is not
advisable to attempt to break it or even
to damage it. And there is ALMOST nothing
else in the room apart from the naked you,
the tube and the Ping-Pong ball. Just a radio,
a tape recorder with a magnetic tape inside,
and an empty dusty breakfast tray with an
empty individual packet of cereals . But in
less than 3 weeks you manage to get the
Ping-Pong ball out of the tube, you read
the 16 digit code, punch it on the key
pad of the electronic lock and get out of
the room. How did you do it and how long did
it take you to find out the solution ?
