Lamps - A Gilded Cage (Hitman Methods)

Lamps. Old vs new, which is better?
Trick question, they're both far too dangerous for public use. If we had laws banning lights we could've avoided these tragedies and all three men would surely still be alive today.

MISSION PLAN:
Start at the school disguised as an elite soldier and have some coins.

Technically don't even need coins, the visit to the office is quick enough that you don't need the extra time guards spend picking up coins, as proven true by this video because I'm fairly certain the guard didn't pick up the coin, so any junk you can throw will do in a pinch.

A person who hasn't tried this themselves might think they're missing the entertainment with the oil lamp kill because I completely skip it in the video, but don't worry, I tried sticking around to see it a few times and it doesn't look good. The only way you can get a half decent view of the event is if you either put yourself in harm's way or knock some guards out and even then it's a very uninteresting explosion kill.
What happens in there is that Zaydan eventually comes back to the room and sees that the oil lamp is off. He calls in a guard from outside the room to light it while he stands in front of his desk, with his back to the lamp. The fire lights the leaking gas and the explosion just about reaches Zaydan and has him slump down dead. Incredibly unsatisfying, especially considering the extra time and effort you'd have to put in to see it.

I also can't see any way to avoid the non-target kill. Zaydan doesn't light the oil lamp himself and the funny thing about this game is that sometimes, if an NPC getting called in is unavailable for some reason, another NPC takes their place. That's not really the funny part, the funny part is that sometimes unarmed civilians can take the place of guards if the guards are incapacitated or the AI just messes up at a time when a guard is called in. I witnessed a couple of weird events like that in Sapienza.

I was still sick while recording and I believe I actually intended this to be a practice run and I just forgot about that by the end so it's a bit messy. I originally electrocuted Strandberg by sheer accident and wasn't even around to see it, this was my first time seeing what exactly happens there.
