You only have two choices for answers.  "No, it isn't," and, "Yes, it
is."  Let's explore both of them for a minute.

A) No, it isn't.  That means you're the only guy in the room who is
insane.  And, you're surrounded by a bunch of people who can lock you
up against your will.  Now, you're locked in a room by yourself.

B) Yes, it is.  That means you're the only sane guy in the room.
That's usually not a good situation to be in, unless you can find a
lockable door and empty room to hide from the insane.  Now, you're in
locked room by yourself.

Either way, the outcome is the same.  You end up in a locked room all
by yourself.

Why do people ask such questions?
