Get absolutely hammered and pass out. If you have drunk enough you will wake up on the other side with no clue how you got there. Then eat the cake.

If "you" is you as in letters, then the blue circle is a hole. put the hole on the wall, crawl through the hole, and get the cake.

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

What do you want to do?



: get ye cake

Cannot get ye cake


And you'd just have to sit there and imagine why on Earth you can't get ye cake! Because the game's certainly not going to tell you.

And there's no precious graphics to help you out, either!

If the wall is infinitly wide then what exactly is our vantage point when looking at the picture? It must be dead on centre, otherwise, given the stated infinite nature of the wall, we would either only be able to see one side or the other(Assuming normal 3D space). Therefore there must be some location from which both sides of he wall can be percived, and the solution would simply be to go through there.

To offset the argument that -when looking at the picture- we are taking an extra-universal point of view, I would argue that there must be an intra-universe locale where this is possible as otherwise given the impentrable quality of the wall THERE IS NO WAY THAT WE COULD POSSESS KNOWLAGE OF THE EXISTANCE OF THE CAKE.

This is what puts me off maths.

There IS NO SUCH THING AS AN INFINITELY TALL AND WIDE WALL.

Somewhere along the line the stonemason has got bored and built a traversable water feature or a secret passageway to assuage his fears he is going mad. Find said entrance, because everything in this scenario seems to be infite and made of invincible material, you must be too, and enjoy your cake, which will be infinitely enjoyable but also indestructable, and hence inedible.

We figure out exactly what the cake's momentum is, so it shifts through the wall and we pick it up.

... I've probably just raped Heisenberg, and I'm an astrophysics student. Awesome.

I exploit the gaps in your drawing under the assumption that the 'ground' is simply a hovering rectangle.

FTW!

You impose economic sanctions and exert political pressure on the cake until it tears the wall down itself.

If you did dig under the wall you say that it will crush you. But if it is infinitely wide then wouldn't the walls weight be spread out evenly over the ground and therefore the wall couldn't crush me if I dug under it?

Sorry if I'm wrong physics peeps.

The wall is also infinitely tall, therefore has infinite mass. I don't know if you have ever seen the damage a moving object with infinite mass does to the ground, but I'll tell you, it's not pretty.

Oh - but wait.

The wall is infinitely tall!
The wall is indestructable!

We therefore know that the wall will fall hinged on a point at the bottom, intact. We know that the fastest that the theoretical top of the wall can fall is the speed of light. Since the wall must travel an infinite amount of distance to hit the ground you have an infinite amount of time, having dug under the wall, to make good your escape the other side.

QED.
