Our Theoretical Physics teacher made it 3 months ago for the whole class to solve.
He'd give 1 extra point to our final grade to everyone if we can solve it.
We're in the final days and still haven't figured it out.

The proportions are all over the place. How big are those rooms? Can you take as much as you want from those food/water supplies? How thick are those doors? Can they access the keyhole? How big is that keyhole? What about ventilation? Do they have any way to dispose of piss and shit?

-The rooms are 4m3,
-The walls and doors are thick enough that nothing can break them or bend them
-They can take and use as much food and water as they want, not just for sustenance but also as tools
-The only ventilation comes from the gap under the door
-The keyhole is just average, the size of a thumb and they have access to it from the inside and outside
-they have no way to dispose of poop and pee properly (other than shoving it through the doorhole and under the door gap)

Well then the room on the right can just make a rope out of their hair (or wait for it to grow if there's not enough hair) then tie the coin on the end of it for some weight (maybe wait for their shit to dry and use that instead) and fish for the key. I mean the angle allows for it the distance is not that long and they supposedly know that there's a key somewhere near the door.

They could, but how would they know the location of the key?
They need to identify it first somehow before trying to get it

>4m3
Assuming you mean 4 m^3, that's 1.6 m per side of a cubic room. Not even tall enough for an average adult human to stand up or lie down except on a diagonal.

Nowhere does it say any door is locked: Open any door you want.

Wow. Everybody moves up one point. Bet he's grading on a curve.

Because if they don't know at least the general location of the key then it's kinda pointless to have it in that puzzle. After all they don't have any light sources anywhere so identifying it's location is pretty much impossible without prior knowledge. And from the looks of it the key is on the heavier side so the rope shouldn't be heavy enough to bump it away to somewhere where they can't access it (unless they hit it directly but they should be sweeping with it instead of throwing it in one direction).

>Can you make at least 1 person escape?
>No outside intervention
You making a person escape from there would be outside intervention.
The answer is "no".

No it wouldn't, that's not what outside intervention means.

One person in either room could kill the other person and fashion a lockpick and tension bar out of the deceased's bones. The silver coin may help with the carving. They could then pick the lock, find the key (or just pick the other lock also), and escape.

One person in the room with the wooden stick could use their own teeth to carve the wooden stick into a lockpick and tension bar, then pick the lock, etc.
