You are in a room, all alone. You have no idea how you got in, and no idea how to get out. Yet.
The walls, ceiling and floor are all made of brick. You cannot destroy brick with your own hands. You cannot remove the brick in the walls or ceiling. The floor bricks cannot be pushed downwards. They may be removed if you have a handhold. One floor brick is loose: It can be removed. It is smaller than your foot. There are no passageways, or anything of that sort, under the floor. There is only dirt under the floor.
There is a logical solution. Try and find it.

Quite simple.
I remove the loose brick. I then remove more bricks until I have a large hole in the masonry.
I start smashing bricks together until i end up with a semi-trowel-shaped one.
I begin to dig, and find myself topside soon.
Right then. You are in a room. The room has a passage on the far end. Every floor, ceiling, and wall is made of tungsten carbide several meters thick, and cannot be penetrated.
There is a solid wall of lasers in front of you. If you cross one of these lasers, an explosive device in the middle of the room, which cannot be disabled, disarmed, or moved, will explode. The shockwave is survivable, but the raw heat will kill you.
You are wearing an insulated suit, which will keep out the cold, but amplify heat.
You have a 50 Liter tank of Compressed Freon-Twelve. Figure it out.

Ok so i jump in the 50 liter tank of freon-12 lay down in it/crouch. I get a handful of freon-12 throw it at the wall of lasers it exploads when im in the freon-12 and i walk out alive.
you are in a room about oh lets say about......30x30, square room its made of diamonds and you are dieing of thirst and there is a 70ft deep and 15ft in diamiter hole in the middle of the room and it has some how clean water at the bottom with a passage to the out side.(the hole has lots of nooks and cranys)
the drop will surely kill you if you jump. the floor is made of dirt and there are two trees about 16ft tall. you have a cleaver knife made of iron, how do you get to the bottom and get out?

RikkaKitsune, thanks for solving it! Phantom Zero: I cut down the trees (using cleaver knife and diamond from wall), and remove some of the branches. I use the branches to tie the trees together. I push the tree-complex off the ledge. I climb down the tree complex. I drink some water and leave. You are a Powder Game Player. The walls and ceiling of the room are made of metal, and the floor is Block. There are only two more things: - A block pathway out.
- Above the ceiling, there is cloned Magma, which will eat through the ceiling in ten seconds.
Note: This may be very easy.

If the walls are made of diamonds, then I can remove one. I cut down the trees with the knife (and diamond if I need it) , cut off a few branches and tie the trees together. I throw the tree off the edge, and climb down. I drink the water and walk out. You are a Powder Game Player. The walls and ceiling of the room are made of metal, and the floor is Block. There are only two more things: - A block pathway out.
- Above the ceiling, there is cloned Magma, which will eat through the ceiling in ten seconds.
By the way, you don't have to get the solution the creator is thinking of. If you utilize a loophole, that is OK. New solution: I remove all the diamonds in the wall, and walk out.

its a wall of diamonds! thinks of a wall just replace the wall with solid diamonds no gaps no cracks its just there made of diamonds
if you do just walk out you will die of dehydration ill fix the room i made

No, but close. You were supposed to cover yourself in the Freon Twelve (Remember, its a tank as in a compressed air tank). Furthermore, you can't throw a gas. But once you cover yourself in the Freon-Twelve, as you have the cryogenic suit, you can walk through the lazers and detonate the bomb. The force will probably throw you back and thereby leave some bruises, and you'd get some first degree burns if you're unlucky. But with that dealt with, you can now go to the passage on the other side of the room. no......thats not how the walls are made OF diamonds Your terminology is incorrect. If the wall is made of diamond, then the wall cannot be broken up. If the wall is made of diamonds (note the plurality) then it is, thereby, a congregation of diamonds that, unless you state otherwise, are presumably removable.

I have already given a solution that does not use the diamonds. Solution 1 (repeated for the third time): I cut down the trees with the knife ( and diamond if I need it), cut off a few branches and tie the trees together. I throw the tree off the edge, and climb down. I drink the water and walk out. Solution 2 (repeated for the second time): I remove all the diamonds in the wall, and walk out. New solution (Solution 3): I cut a shovel from the tree using the knife. I dig a hole to the bottom, climb down, drink the water, and leave. Please explain why Solution 1 and 3 do not work. It is OK to have a solution that is not the specified one. If it gets you out, you are out. You are a Powder Game Player. The walls and ceiling of the room are made of metal, and the floor is Block. There are only two more things: - A block pathway out.
- Above the ceiling, there is cloned Magma, which will eat through the ceiling in ten seconds.
RikkaKitsune, your solution was almost the same as mine! (on my old room) I didn't bother to make a brick-shovel. I dug out with my hands.

Right...
I take the block pathway out.
Okay, you are on a ledge. Next to it is a pool of nitroglycerine. It is deep. The chasm is too wide to jump across. You cannot swim across, for you will either explode or drown. There is no ledge or scalable surface by which to cross.
There is, however, a catwalk suspended fifty feet in the air. All walls are made of metal. If you can get the catwalk, held up by rope tied to the ceiling, to fall, you can cross.
An extensive length of extra rope hangs from the knot down to a coil mounted on the wall. Releasing it would place it several inches above the nitro. You cannot climb the rope, for it is barbed, and would render your digits lame.
You have a rock and a rut that, should you lay in it, would protect you from the nitroglycerine should it explode. How do you get across the chasm filled with nitroglycerine?

Right... I take the block pathway out. Bah! I forgot to say that the block pathway out was outside the metal. Doesn't really matter though. Back to your room! Okay, you are on a ledge. Next to it is a pool of nitroglycerine. It is deep. The chasm is too wide to jump across. You cannot swim across, for you will either explode or drown. There is no ledge or scalable surface by which to cross. There is, however, a catwalk suspended fifty feet in the air. All walls are made of metal.

You have a rock and a rut that, should you lay in it, would protect you from the nitroglycerine should it explode. How do you get across the chasm filled with nitroglycerine? EDIT: I uncoil the coil on the wall, causing the catwalk to fall. I lay in the rut and push my way across the catwalk. and throw it into above the Nitro. I lay in the rut and throw the rock into the Nitro, making it explode. I fly into the air, but I stay in the rut; the fire from the Nitro gets the rope on fire. As I fall back on the ledge (I mean where I was before), I wait for the knot to catch on fire. The catwalk falls. I walk across.You are a powder game player ( again). You have snow powerup. The only thing blocking your way out is a long pool of cloned acid. (Not checkerboard pattern; one line of clone, with acid around it. If you have enough water, you might be able to remove all the acid. Rather unfortunately, above you is a metal ceiling spanning the room, and above that, is magma slowly eating through the metal. There is not enough time to fill it with water. Clone could do it for you... There is some clone in the air, obviously for the magma. You cannot climb on it, and snow isn't enough to stop the magma and acid. Water is... There is some metal in the air. You cannot climb on it. You can stand under it. Your head is below all the metal. Assume normal reactions to all elements, other than what is given.
My edit code: Original: Normal 2nd Version: Italics3rd Version: Bold4th Version: BothStrikeouts are always removed things.

I line the ceiling with a thick layer of snow. When the magma burns through the metal, it melts the snow, making water, and turning the magma into stone. The stone falls into the acid, using it up. I then climb over any remaining stone into the exit. (forgive me if I did not get some PG physics correct, I haven't played it in a while...)
This room is a complete sphere. You are floating out in space, so there is no gravity. The walls are all one-way, so you can see space outside, but anything outside would only see a floating ball out in space. Obviously there are no cracks or anything in the walls as you would suffocate in the vacuum of space otherwise. There are no ships nearby to take you in, the sphere is entirely indestructible from the inside, you only have your clothes (which are regular everyday t-shirt & jeans type of clothes), you have no powers of any kind, no one else in the sphere with you, death is not and cannot lead to any solution, this situation is neither dream nor in any type of imagination, and regular physics (in anti-gravity situations) are the only type of physics that apply. However, outside you can see that the entire sphere also rests in a time machine that only works on organic carbon-based substances/beings. The time machine will return you back to your original position, however, in 1/20th of the time inputted into the time machine to reduce the risk of paradoxes. If you do cause a paradox, you will die. Talking to yourself does not count as a paradox in this situation. And finally, the Sphere is originally 15 ft in diameter, but shrinks 1/3rd of its size every time the time machine returns you back to your original position.
Escape!

Every time the Time machine returns you back to the sphere (your original state before using the time machine) the sphere shrinks to one third of it's size original size. Basically, the TM can only be used 3 times before the sphere collapses on you as it is originally 15ft in diameter.
I should probably also have said that the Time Machine can warp you anywhere, but just warping you out one second in the past/future would make it almost instantly warp you back into the sphere.
Now then, solve it!

I just leave the room. You didn't mention the rest of the stuff in the above post, so it's not really part of that post's room.

yes it is, it's a continuation of the my post before it because I was answering EM's question, plus the fact that editing the original post would be too confusing. So they're still the exact same scenario. Now solve it.

You didn't state that it was a continuation in your post. It was implied, but not stated. You didn't state that it was a continuation, so that part wasn't interpreted.
This post does state that.
Okay, I go far in time VERY far forward, so that the 1/20th of time is about 100 years. I then work around in the future to see if they can fix it.

The Nonja base. A regular prison cell in prison block C. The Nonja security devices are fully active. One thing: It has to be a creative escape. Remember, you have standard being-dragged-off-to-torture-chamber-in-handcuffs and all that.
