Machinarium Hints
How can I get a cigarette for the prisoner?
1 of 10: You're going to need to be VERY loose about your definition of a cigarette here.
2 of 10: It's effectively some kind of burned leaves wrapped in some kind of paper.
3 of 10: Well, the paper's easy. There's toilet paper!
4 of 10: As for the leaves -- think more... fungus, than leaves.
5 of 10: See that gross green stuff on the right side of the room?
6 of 10: Grab it, and you can use it as leaves, if you can burn them.
7 of 10: To do that, you need to place them on a source of heat.
8 of 10: There's only one in the room, and you can reach it with your extending torso.
9 of 10: Place the fungus on the lamp at the upper-left and they will brown and look a little more like tobacco.
10 of 10: Use this with the toilet roll in your inventory and you can then give the resulting "cigarette" to the prisoner.
