Hello.

"30. If you were locked in a concrete room, with no windows and no
doors, and all you  had inside the room was a table and a mirror, how
would you get out?
                           
...Look in the mirror, see what you saw, take the saw, cut the table
in half; two halves make a "whole", then climb out the "hole."

"no windows" "table and a mirror"

There would be no light in the room so you "saw nothing".  You did not
"saw the table".

Scratch the letter X on the table with the mirror.  You just X it.

With quantum mechanics and the tunnel effect, there is some
probablility, albeit very small, that you can appear on the other
side.  Although you don't need the mirror or table for that.

Is your name "Alice"?

If it's a periodic "table", you can "boron" through the wall.
Or do you take the "lead" and let it "lead" you out.

Now if you believe in reincarnation...

Perhaps this all works better in an "abstract" room instead of a "concrete" room.

I think 'ulu-ga' should get paid too.  Very creative answer and under
the word play context
obviously a correct answer.
