If you solve the puzzle, the warden will let you go free!
Here is your jail cell!
Affixed to the inside of one of your bars is a tall (2 foot), slender (two of your fingers can fit in), transparent tube (illustration below). A peanut is dropped to the bottom of the tube. You must get it out but you cannot remove the tube from the bar or break it. You have to repeat your solution in front of the warden to make sure that you did not cheat.
All you have in your cell are the usual items: cot, pillow, desk, sink, and toilet. How can you win your freedom?
