Where there is a well there is a way, Since the king can do anything, get him to turn the wall of glass into some meat & the wall of water into bread. Then get him to turn the banana into a knife & small grill. Break up the throne (if it is not made of wood get the king to turn it into wood) & put it in the bucket. Light a piece of wood from the wall of f ...[text shortened]... rt anywhere you like!
I think that covers everthing....................................phew:'(

If the king can do anything, he can make himself not die of a heart attack😛
Of course there is always plan B
By lateral thinking, Imagine the cross shape room is square & full of boxes, in other words a box room. Then think yourself outside the box.
or plan c
Get the rope & skip over one of the walls.
or plan D
Stand very close to the wall of fire & break out in a sweat.
or plan E the old favourite
Ripe the paper bag in half, two half's make a whole, escape through the hole.

possibly you could furnish us with more background on where you found this puzzle? don't you think it would be interesting to know if there is a solution after so much conjecture?
