I also got sat next to two guys from my university on the train from Montreal by sheer coincidence
On Saturday night, I officially graduated to the level of adventurer. You see, when I go back to Waterloo for council meetings, I stay at my good friend Iljya's house. He lives with his girlfriend but they have separate rooms, which amounts to them having a spare room for me. Well this weekend, my good friend Iljya went up to the Far-off Northlands (Kincardine) to visit his dear mother. This would not be even notable had he not locked his room door and neglected to leave a key. A minor inconvenience.
My first course of action was to pick the lock on the door. Armed with a vague understanding of the process, absolutely no experience, and a single bobby pin graciously donated to the cause by my good friend Iljya's good girlfriend Kathy, I set off. I toiled for four, maybe five minutes before realizing that I might be missing items to complete this puzzle. Initiating a conversation with my good friend Iljya's good girlfriend Kathy, I learned that there is a way into the room by shimmying along the facade from her window. Unfortunately, the window was locked so I returned back into the house. Convinced now that picking the lock was the correct solution, I tried it again. Discouraged by my inability to make progress and lacking any sort of walkthrough, I resorted to the surprisingly efficient technique of looking through my inventory for items to use. This is when I had my epiphany to use a card. Yes, like in all those unrealistic movies where some dude just opens a door using his MasterCard or something.
And it worked! Heroic music started playing and the door popped open with a satisfying bounce. The rest is history.
