Machinarium Hints
How can I get a light for the top of my hat?
1 of 10: There's only one light here!
2 of 10: It's the one on top of the street lamp.
3 of 10: You're going to need to find a way to climb up there.
4 of 10: If only these rungs on either side of the lamp post didn't stop.
5 of 10: Wait, do you see that there are more holes in the lamp post, almost as if more rungs should go there?
6 of 10: Perhaps if we climb as high as we can...
7 of 10: ...then we won't need the BOTTOM rung, as we'll have already climbed past it.
8 of 10: Grab the bottom rung when you've climbed above it, and insert it into the first of the empty holes.
9 of 10: Now climb up one more, and repeat that process.
10 of 10: Now, you can climb right to the top, and stretch out to reach the light bulb.
