There are a lot of possible answers for the puzzles, but the goal is NOT to have a complicated answer. (I like your answers, Gideon.)

Lurking Man:

Possible Answer One: You call 911. He is arrested, and taken away.

Cafeteria:

Possible Answer One: You're in a cafeteria. You can sit anywhere, there's more than one table.

Possible Answer Two: You can sit in the empty spot at the table with the three friends.

Burning Bed:

Possible Answer One: I never said the exits were blocked. You just leave.

Possible Answer Two: You go through a window. (Though, I never said you were on a high floor, either. But you could still go through a window.)
