Not far from Madrid, there is a large wooden barn. The barn is completely empty except for a dead man hanging from the middle of the central rafter. The rope around his neck is ten feet long and his feet are three feet off the ground. The nearest wall is 20 feet away from the man. There is a puddle of water nearby. It is not possible to climb up the walls or along the rafters. The man hanged himself. How did he do it?

since the puddle of water was just randomly put there, i assumed the answer had something to do with the puddle. Waters hard form is ice , so he stood on a block of ice.

He committed suicide standing on a block of ice and letting it melt...painful

the guy was a struggling ice sculptor and he couldn't quite get the Venus de Milo right, so he stood on top of his latest failed attempt and hanged himself in shame.

I don't have an answer, but (forgive me for sounding so much like "grammar geek" if you will), but Kudos for using "hanged" and not "hung". Many people write "he was hung" but actually, as a past-tense form of execution, it is "hanged"

He rode a donkey into the barn and that's how he got off the ground. The donkey, seeing what had just happened, peed himself and ran away.

My expression is exactly like the picture you attached after reading your answer.

By the way, good one
