Escape from The Crimson Room

This little puzzle has been doing the rounds. The scenario is you wake up in a room and have to work out how to get out - classic!

I've sent the link to a few folks and all have struggled

It's been funny watching people attempt this.

Solutions have been posted all over the place, but the funniest solution I have seen was coded in rot-13, which i reproduce here:
