(first taking the piece of 'Eat-Me' cake)
Suddenly, the room appears to have become very large.
[Posts Room] This is an enormous room, in the center of which are four wooden posts delineating a rectangular area, above which is what appears to be a wooden roof. In fact, all objects in this room appear to be abnormally large. To the east is a passageway. There is a large chasm on the west and the northwest. There is a pearl necklace here with hundreds of large pearls. There is a beautiful white crystal sphere here.
Shades of Alice in Wonderland! It is temporary, so no point in worrying about it.
>east
[Pool Room] This is a large room, one half of which is depressed. There is a large leak in the ceiling through which brown colored goop is falling. The only exit from this room is to the west.
A flask filled with some clear liquid is here.
As they say in some foreign countries, don't drink the clear liquid, or something like that. Again my Dungeon prowess pays off, as other versions include an important descriptor for the flask: "skull-and-crossbones markings is here." Yummy.
Small things can be magnified to appear larger than they really are with the help of magnifying glasses and microscopes. Water (or other clear liquids, including poisons), can act as a simple magnifier and magnify the object behind it. The water acts as a lens, bending the light so that it approaches you eye as if it was coming from a much larger object, so it looks magnified. The Learning Channel is our friend.
>take flask
Taken.
>read blue cake through flask
The icing, now visible, says "Enlarge".
Told you it would be temporary. Do not eat the blue cake now, as the room is not large enough to hold you at full size. Save it for later.
>read orange cake through flask
The icing, now visible, says "Explode".
Yikes! Exploding cake...what will they think of next?
>read red cake through flask
The icing, now visible, says "Evaporate".
Evaporate? What is this, freeze-dried cake? I've seen enough.
>drop flask, orange cake
Dropped.
Dumpster diving is one thing, but sewage swimming is another, even if it likely something is in there. Let's see...a towel (where is Ford Prefect when you need him?) or something to soak it up would work...hmmm...evaporate cake!
>throw red cake at pool
The pool of water evaporates, revealing a tin of rare spices.
Yes!
>take tin
Taken.

Top of Well
>board bucket
You are now in the wooden bucket.
Since putting the water in the bucket caused it to go up, removing the water should make it go down. You would think getting the water out of the bucket would require a sponge or more red cake. Put water in bottle works just fine. As stated earlier, sometimes it's better not to ask too many questions...just go with it.
>put water in bottle
The bottle is now full of water. The bucket descends and comes to a stop.

There is a dented steel box here.
Welcome to the stable Round Room, now with a box!

Opening the steel box reveals: A fancy violin.
