Solve This Puzzle

Yesterday, I changed one of my rear brake lights. When inserting the light back into the proper hole the bulb fell out and into the light well. I didn't want to remove the tail light cover to retrieve it, because it's a hassle. Here was my situation. I was left with a 3/4" diameter hole and the bulb was about 4 to 5 inches below that.

I did retrieve the bulb without removing the tail light cover. Can you guess how I did it?

 

[Pah]

When I drop a screw down under the motherboard, I turn the computer over and shake it gently. Did you do something like that?

I'm strong, but I haven't been successful in turning my car over. :lol:

 

[Pah]

Then, perchance, you chew gum and fashioned a "retriever" from string and a suitable weight?

 

[Pah]

Or maybe you got hold of some "dark", put that on a string and pulled the "light" up when it was attracted to the dark on the principle that opposites attract.

 

[Lightkeeper]

You are getting closer.

I know! - I know!! - I know!!!

The clue was in the this post!!!!!!

You put LMAO smilies around the car and it rolled over in protest.

 

[Pah]

You put a drop of superglue on one part of velcro and glued it to the bulb. With the other velcro part on a coat hanger it was a simple matter of touching the two together.



They don't call me McGiver for nuttin' you know.

 

[Pah]

You drive the car into a wall until the repeated crashing dislodged the bulb

 

[Lightkeeper]

You got it, Rex. I used a heavy cord and taped a magnet onto it. The bulb had metal at the base. It worked. The problem was that you had to use something that could bend.

 

[Pah]

why does my brain feel fried? The well was PLASTIC!!!!!!!
