Room

Other mistake: Ma and Jack bake a cake, but there is no way of doing this as they have no oven - only a work top hob and a grill.

Mistakes

Plot hole: Ma rolling Jack in the rug (to pretend he was dead and then could escape from the truck when being taken away) would have suffocated him. She even put his hands over his mouth before rolling him up in the rug. (00:42:10 - 00:43:15)

Questions

Question: If Jack thinks the room is the whole world and that space surrounds the room, where does he think Old Nick is coming from when he walks in the door?

Answer: He's a five-year-old child and lives in a very structured, controlled, and unnatural environment. He isn't capable at that age to really begin questioning how and why something should or shouldn't be. He believes what he is told.

Well, except when Joy tells him that something outside Room exists and he doesn't believe what she tells him and immediately questions how that could be possible.

And that is certainly a starting age point of where a child will begin to have an ability to analyze and interpret their environment and question what they are told. They begin asking "why" to whatever they are told.
