Hmmm.. That's curious! I'll give it a try! OK, so the puzzle is a logical step-by-step one, and the pipe and glove are central to each step. so, as a first step use pipe, and in response with "use with?" try glove.. You should see the message is different. Now, you have a capped pipe because you've stretched the glove over one end. the hint to do this is if you try to use the uncapped pipe on the ice. Now you have a capped pipe, try use pipe on all the other things in the room, there are only a few. you'll know if you get it right.
