Ok, you are stuck in a steel room, four walls, ceiling and floor, no windows, no secret hatches or anything, the only things in the room are a wooden table and a mirror. How do you get out?

Walk, run, do summersaults, skip out of the non-enclosed room.

according to www.m-w.com:
look up "room".

or: http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=room

the definition does not claim that the room is an "enclosure".

The four steel walls do not need to be enclosed, yet could be topped with a ceiling. The mirror and table are decoys.

Break the mirror, cut your arteries & bleed to death. Grim, I know, but you're now out.

How can you be in the room if the only things in the room are a wooden table and a mirror?
Bullshit!

You look in the mirror and you see what you saw.
You take the saw cut the table into 2 halves.
Take the 2 halves and put them together to make a whole. And climb out the hole. ;-P
