Carrying on from Theo's answer. As we don't know what material the cube is - or, what equipment we have inside the cube, I would say we just cut/saw/melt our way out.
I'm guessing that it's underwater, probably in the ocean, so it's either switch the engine on to rise to the surface but submarine aren't usually cube shaped, or be winched up and the cube can be opened once you've broken through the surface of the water..
All answers so far are fairly inventive - but all wrong. I probably should have written a more detailed explanation, but was in a hurry. The cube is completely sealed, nothing can get in or out - sound, light and air included. You have no machinery/tools with which to cut your way out, even if you could see where to cut/what you were doing. Where the cube is is irrelevant, as is what material it is made from (the idea of a chocolate one was appealing though). All you have to help you is a limited amount of air and your wits..... The only clue I can offer is that you carefully consider the wording of the original question.
Here goes. Don't know if this is on google Which senior school did the former Barnsley Goalkeeper, Clive Baker attend, and which famous Briton also went there?
I meant to say Craig Murray, but unfortunately the bottle of Bordeaux at my right hand is slightly stronger than I thought.
Which phobia derives its name from the Latin for a foot and a half long river horse? And what is its name....
The latin word for feet is ped, from which we get pedal. Pediophobia is a rather curious fear of dolls - but I'm not sure where the horse comes into it. Is that the answer ?
O.K. another try, hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. A fear of long words ! Thus combining Hippo (German Flusspferd = riverhorse, and then the short form. Together with ped somewhere along the line. Is that it ?
Yup the river horse along with sesquipedalis - literal meaning 'foot and a half'. I could challenge you to pronounce it. Back to you...
