Machinarium Hints
What should I do with the prisoner's arm?
1 of 6: Use it to reach through that little mouse-hole at the lower-left of the cell.
2 of 6: Squish yourself down so that your arms reach to that level, and then use the prisoner's arm to extend your own reach.
3 of 6: Ignore the bizarre characters in the middle cell, and reach right through to the mouse holes on the left of THEIR cell.
4 of 6: Use the upper one, the lower one leads nowhere.
5 of 6: There's a cupboard in the far room, with a broom on it. Three jabs with the arm and the broom will fall off, and you can collect it.
6 of 6: Doing so will cause you to give the prisoner his arm back. The broom's what you need.
