Four mathematicians who do not know each other meet for an evening of puzzle-solving at the home of a man named Fermat; shortly upon their arrival their mysterious host is called away. They receive a phone call which gives them a riddle they are instructed to solve in one minute ; incorrect answers cause the walls of the room to shrink. Their dilemma is to answer the riddle or find an escape route before they are squeezed to death.

Solve the Riddle submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on August 30, 2014, 1:33am A psychological thriller with the set-up of a group of strangers finding themselves in a deadly and mysterious situation. It lacks the humor of Clue and the gore of movies like Saw - which is not a bad thing. If you like Exam, the original Saw, and other psychological thrillers or movies with mysteries and mind games, check this out. Math figures prominently in the plot, but it is absolutely able to enjoy this without having a grasp of advanced mathematics.
