Default how on earth do I remove this screwless glass ceiling light dome?

I did look at the photo, and nothing comes to mind. Only coarse threads, and
turn the white ring counter clockwise.

As the others have suggested (which also came to my mind) to ask your
neighbor students, and try to find the custodian. Custodians often will work
for appreciation, food, home made cookies, etc.

Hi,

Got quite a problem here because I'm moving out of my dorm in 2 days'
time, and I need to change my ceiling light bulb before then
(otherwise they'll impose some ridiculous penalty charge on me).

Anyways, here's how my domed ceiling lamp looks like:

As you can see, there are no screws whatsoever. I've googled quite a
few places, and tried some of the proposed solutions such as:
1) Twisting the dome (with my hands)
2) Pushing up on the dome, then twisting it, or rocking it like crazy
while twisting it with maximum strength
3) Pulling it down (although this is not quite possible since there is
nowhere to hold the dome)

Nothing worked.
I don't have any tools with me, and it'll be hard to find one at short
notice.

Anyone has any other good ideas?
Thanks so much for looking!

Eric
