魔法生活王 Magic King of Life - Unscrewing lightbulbs and dealing with leftover rice

Another post about 魔法生活王 - Magic King of Life!!!! haha it is sooo funny!!

First Problem:
Screwing and unscrewing a light bulb from a high ceiling without a higher chair for you to reach up and do it by hand.

Tools:
Umbrella, Plastic drink bottle with 4 corners and band-aids.

Can you take a guess as to how they can use these tools to screw or unscrew a light bulb?



Second Problem:
What will you do about the leftover rice from dinner???! Throw it away?

Equipment:
Blender

Hint - it is a type of food that I am craving at the moment in summer because it is sooo hot.



Answer to 1)
man this is a little hard to explain but here goes!

Cut off about 2 centimetres of the end of a plastic bottle fully. Turn it upside down and place a band-aid over the protruding bump. Then with the bump facing towards you, push it mid-way into the bottle. The bottle's neck is where you can insert the umbrella and it touches the concave bump; whereas the other side is where you can place your light bulb (bottom touching the band-aid) and the socket facing upwards, ready for you to screw it to the ceiling. AND YOU ARE ready to change light bulbs.

Reason:
The bottom of the light bulb is touching the band-aid to produce friction so that when you use the completed mechanism, the light bulb won't twist along with the mechanism. Therefore, you cannot forget about the band-aid. The mechanism can also unscrew light bulbs. Make sure that if you are going to do this, the umbrella should fit through the bottle neck.

Answer to 2)
Leftover rice can be used to make ICE-CREAM!!! And here is how.

Add to the blender:
100g Rice
100cc Cream
200cc Milk
Melter sugar (syrup) - depending on how sweet you want it to be

  • Blend all ingredients until there are no 'bits' of rice.
  • Then...pour it into a container and freeze it.

Tips

  • Ratio of 1:1:2
  • Rice:Cream:Milk
This formula is very helpful. If you want to have different ice-cream flavour, add different flavour milk and add fruits. e.g. strawberry.

Man I am so impressed with what you can do with the tools that you are given and the type of food that you can make from just leftover rice!!! Good eh??? I am so happy to be watching this kind of show because it reduce, reuse and recycles very well and is always trying to be clean and tidy.
