Get on the pipe, jump and grab the air vent, unscrew light bulb, make a pick out of it?

[Count of Cutesy]

Nope. The pipe, the air vent, and the lightbulb are FAR away from each other.

[Count of Cutesy]

Nope, that's not it.

[Tim Siguire]

the door may be locked but you didnt say it could be busted down. (not explosives)

so you keep charging at the door full force until you break it open. kicking it also counts.

[Count of Cutesy]

No, once again you are wrong. Let me recite everything in the room once more.

A lightbulb a tad too high to reach
A pipe that is dripping water
A tiny air-vent complete with a grate

Any more ideas?

[Tim Siguire]

AHA! you take the grate off the vent, wet your hand without the grate with the water. throw the grate at the light bulb. and use your wet hand to pick up the filament. use the filament as a lock pick and escape.

[Count of Cutesy]

The filament stuck onto the broken lightbulb, and is still too high to grab. Besides, if you want to destroy the lightbulb, you will have to be a bit more creative.

(In other words: That's one way of doing it, but it's not "My Way.")
