Houdini’s Escape

A safe maker called Harry Houdini so he could unlock a safe he had built. Before accepting the challenge, he checked the safe and found that it could not be opened from the outside, it was tamper-proof. Nevertheless, he accepted and won the challenge… How did he do it?

Solution:

Houdini found that it was impregnable to anyone who attempted to open it from the outside, so he ordered that he be locked inside, who could easily open it because the inside was not as impregnable, but easy to open.

The above event did really happen!
