* ''[[The Big O]]''
** In one episode, Roger is about to open a door using a high-tech device that would form the key for a lock when inserted, just before Dorothy just breaks the door open. ...with a one-handed push.
** In the last episode Roger [[Lampshadeslampshade]]s this trope when he was unconscious underwater and Dorothy was unable to give him the oxygen. So she simply busts the oxygen tank to fill the cockpit with oxygen. Roger asks why she couldn't have been more gentle, such as using [[Mouth To Mouth]]. (He wouldn't have asked that if he knew how small her internal tank was, apparently.)
* In ''[[Mouse]]'', one ancient challenge was to figure out how to untie this extremely hard knot. Alexander the Great solved it by simply cutting it. So to make the next one more challenging, they made the second knot out of metal chains.
* In ''[[Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle|Phi Brain Kami no Puzzle]]'', [[The Protagonist|Daimon Kaito]] is trapped in a [[Death Trap|Fool's Puzzle]] in the form of a burning tower. Ideally, he would use a maze of elevators to reach the top where the goal is, but the flames have risen high enough to block the route. His solution is to break off the door of one of the elevators so that he can jump off when it passes a floor that ''will'' let him take the route to the goal.
