Rules:

1. It is delicious cake, you MUST eat it. There is no option to not eat the cake.

2. Wall is impenetrable.

3. Tunneling will make the wall fall and crush you. No exceptions.

4. Ground is not Earth/planet so you can't walk the opposite way until you loop round to the cake.

Quantum mechanics solves everything. Both I and the cake are quantum!

When you say "wide" - do you mean facing it it runs infinitely long in both the left and right directions?

Or do you mean that it is wide when viewed from above?

If the later, then you simply walk around the side of the wall.

If the former I'll need a few moments to think.

"The entirety of these definitions lie outside the gamut of the sRGB color space — such a pure color cannot be represented using RGB primaries. The color swatch to the right is a desaturated approximation, created by taking the centroid of the standard definition and moving it towards the D65 white point, until it meets the sRGB gamut triangle."

If you are talking in terms of "a bridge" then you can right click on the left hand side of the wall and use the menu to get across the wall, but if thats the answer then its lame.

I'll keep thinking.

I think this is a wind-up.

I think it's more a shitty Portal reference that is just as funny as LOLcats.

I hold an element of surprise

[Zucchero]

Not a portal reference (though nothing to do with Portal is shitty mind you). Or a wind up (how can it be?). Just a 4chan-esque puzzle There is a solution but requires some lateral thinking.

Also by wide it means that the wall goes on forever on the left and right, so you can't simply walk around it. And obviously not to be confused with infinitely thick, as you can see in the diagram that it is not. Nothing quantum can work though without the LHC...and since it is not yet opertational, quantum things/time travel/etc = fail.

Hmm - I wonder...


Since it is not possible to "have your cake and eat it" one could infer that you can either have the cake (exclusive) or eat it. Since we clearly cannot have it, we must conclude that we can eat it.

Yum!

AHA! but is the wall photoshoppable?

You are a joker.

So you can't go through the wall, round the wall, over the wall, underneath the wall and walk in the opposite direction of the wall until you reach the cake.

How do you get to the cake then Mr Clever Clogs?

[sweet]

Wouldn't it be easier to bake my own cake?

By the by, I gave up sugar yesterday (for a bit) *then* discovered the tray of delicious chocolate truffles in the cupboard. But I given it up for a bit, so I didn't. A wall would probably be more effective than my fragile willpower though. I wonder do they hire it out?

[Haunted]

Why the assumption that there are only three dimensions?

If the problem is set in 4+ dimensional space then the cake is already in my mouth (and perhaps stomach and intestines simoultaneously)

Now with 100% more corn

Have they finally achieved Wonkavision?

mmmmm, the cake is all mine

? The humble question mark?
? So much mightier than the sword?

You are in the Matrix. There is no wall.

You are in a FIELD. In the FIELD is a WALL. Behind the WALL is a CAKE.

What do you want to do?
