Megan and Cueball are installing wall-to-wall carpeting (also known as fitted carpet), which usually runs from the inner edge of one wall to the inner edge of a facing wall. Somehow, they have managed to mistakenly start laying the carpet against the outer edge of the wall without noticing. Despite encountering unfinished and uneven surfaces, plants, rocks, and other obstructions, they have not been clued in to their error, and have simply continued laying it for an unknown distance. Presumably, they would continue doing so until they encountered the outer wall of another building unless they check if the wall is actually the other end of their room. They may be prevented from doing so, as it appears their last roll of carpet is about to run out.
According to the title text they have failed to notice another rather large clue to their problem — that there is a big open sky above them. Instead, they have, rather improbably, interpreted this as an extremely large skylight — a window on the ceiling designed to add light to a space of a building.

- no. it would be better with waterslides. (/j) --Utdtutyabthsc (talk) 03:19, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
- Hiking trail pavement needs to be sturdy enough to withstand hikers stomping up and down. It also needs to help their hiking boots grip the trail, or at least not do worse at that than bare dirt would. I am not convinced that carpet fits either of those criteria.

I think this strip is a knowing reference to "outside the asylum", the inside-out home of Wonko the Sane in _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_.

- How do you reckon that? Other than the presence of a carpet, how does it uniquely reference Wonko's setup, as opposed to being a coincidence? Elizium23 (talk) 10:07, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
This invention would go really well with outdoor floor-to-ceiling windows. -flatdurian 138.75.249.122 11:54, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
