  • 1 of 10: In short... you can't.
  • 2 of 10: You need to attack this puzzle from a different angle.
  • 3 of 10: How does a human feel the texture of a key in their hand?
  • 4 of 10: It touches their skin.
  • 5 of 10: Is there a way you can give the key back to the guard, put it in his hand, without it touching his skin?
  • 6 of 10: Say... if he were wearing gloves?
  • 7 of 10: If you speak to him about the heat in the room, he will tell you that he "has his gloves if it gets cold."
  • 8 of 10: So, let's make it colder!
  • 9 of 10: All you need to do is have a jiggle with the thermostat.
  • 10 of 10: He will then put his gloves on, and will be none the wiser about our plaster key.
