Socket to me
How many halfbakers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? | |
None. The socket is motorized, and rotates.

|
| |
...just two, but how do you get them in there? |
|
| |
What if I have a bayonet based bulb? |

Handy .... you can see who you're stabbing .... |
|
| |
It depends on how dark it is... |
|
| |
"It is better to stab an adversary than curse the darkness". |
|
| |
That doesn't sound quite right, but it will do for the time being. |
|
| |
As many as you want, provided you have a big enough bulb. |
|
| |
I'm sorry to correct you [saxman] but here at the hb the entire room rotates, whilst the sockets remain still. |
|
| |
Which axes does it rotate round ? |
|
| |
Laplace Transform, anyone ? |
|
| |
Hm....surely the Halfbaked solution is to rotate the whole house around the bulb? (Talking about American bulbs here.) |
|
| |
And as to the number of Halfbakers - 10 - 1 to post the idea, 8 to comment on it, and one admin to weep in despair. |
|
| |
Halfbakers don't screw in lightbulbs. They
screw in transparent waterbeds powered
by electric eels. |
|
| |
The bulb and I stand still and the universe rotates to suit me. It's all about the frame of reference. |
|
| |
Schrodinger tells us that at any instant in time, the probability of there being a HalfBaker's cat present to screw in the bulb is not zero. No Halfbakers need to sit and wait for the cat because we know that over time the sum of the probabilities will total certainty. The answer is therefore zero. |
|
| |
All you need is a long pole with a sink plunger on the end. Once [Po] has finished using the pole to paint her ceiling, wedge the bulb in place and planetary rotation will take care of the rest. |

|
| |
What if you're in the Southern hemisphere ? |
|
| |
Use it to unscrew the bulb, then. |
|
| |
But how do you screw the new bulb back in? |
|
| |
Turn the pendant upside down, first. |
|
| |
The question is more: How many lightbulbs does it take to screw a halfbaker? |
|
| |
Successfully resists urge to post link to image. |

// turn the pedant upside down // - - - :) |

Leave the bulb on the floor, and use microwave transmission to power the filament. A few flocking road cones can keep it from getting stepped on. |
