Puzzler: dropped screw better answer

The Show
1

While I agree that turning the screwdriver into a magnet (though any tinkerer worth his/her salt would have already done that) can retrieve the screw, I think it would be far easier and faster to take a small piece of cheese from the sandwich, stick it on the end of the screwdriver, and snatch the screw from the depths of the distributor. Just like putting gum on the end of a stick, and without sacrificing the lamp…

Greg.

Not a chance. What kind of cheese would STICK TO the smooth end of a screwdriver?

I’d be looking for sticky pine sap before I started feeding cheese to my distributor. ;=)

3

If it’s warm weather, cheese gets sticky.

But what a waste of cheese. Magnetize the screwdriver.

Greg, if I tried that the cheese would come off the screwdriver and I’d end up with a screwed cheese sandwich in my distributor.
