My keys will carry you to the place of your choice.
What am I?
4. You're in a magical bathroom with no windows and the only way things can get in and out is by an open door. You decide to have a bath so you turn on the tap, you shut the door and the handle breaks so you can't open it, you then turn off the tap and the knob breaks so water keeps coming. How do you save yourself from drowning?
5. You have three stoves: a gas stove, a wood stove, and a coal stove, but only one match. Which should you light first?

To the end of time and space
To the beginning of every end
And the end of every place.

Sparkling spears that never rust.
