MacGyver would be proud



Here's the situation: You're in a hotel room with a dead wall clock. You need an AA battery to fix it, but you don't have one. All you have is an AAA, but that won't fit! No tools or supplies, either.


Cue the tense piano music. How am I going to get this to work? What would MacGyver do to get out of this one?




I find a discarded metal screw in the back of the cupboard above the stove. It's corroded, but is it conductive enough to bridge the gap between the too-small AAA battery and the AA socket's contact?!








Yes! It works! Thanks Mac!

Awesome. I hope you have a MacGyverized fire extinguisher too.

Brilliant. My smoke alarm was beeping. I just ripped it out of the ceiling and it's sitting on the floor.
