1- Is there anything to do at the room with the giant mushroom and the caterpillar?
According to the programm code this is the location where you should be able to obtain the piece of cake somehow. When you eat the piece of cake after drinking the potion you obtain your normal size again. I don't know how you can obtain it without cheating like I did

2- Is the potion for crossing the little door at the location that warns about the dragon guards or for something else? This is not clear because you can go through the door without drinking the shrinking potion.
Alas I also didn't find any use for drinking the potion or eating the cake afterwards. It does not seem to be necessarry. The problem is this game consist of two files (alice.com and alice.dat) and I only know how to decode the main part of the dat file. The com file is some compiled programm code and I don't know how to decompile it because my knowledge of the Tatung Einstein is zero. Unfortunately the information about the actions you have to make are not inside the datafile.

Strangely when you take the cup to another location the location of the ring inside the programm code remains the same. However I noticed within this game when objects are in the posession of someone or something their location isn't altered untill the object is taken from it's container. It appears it should fall out of the cup somehow according to the programm code. When you drop the ring in the magistrate room a secret door to the east opens and you are able to obtain the sceptre.
Did either of you manage to enter the river? I don't think it is very important but somehow you should be able to enter the river and drown without using the boat.
To solve the game two problems are to be solved I guess:
-How to obtain the ring
-How to obtain a point for dropping the bag of diamonds
