So i got some riddles for you all to stretch your mind.
Theres 2 rooms - one has a light bulb in it, the other has 3 switches.
You have to work out which switch turns on the bulb,
You can ONLY goin to the room with the bulb once, and only touch TWO of the switches.
No you can not see the room with the bulb in from the switch room.
So how do you do it?
More to come by the way
I love you for what I am not,
I did not ask for what I have got.
You will get used to me.
Welcome to your new joy. |

Flick one of the switches. Wait 20 minutes. Flick another switch and then run into the room. If the light is off then it was the switch you didn't flick. If the light is on then feel the bulb. If it's REALLY hot then it was the first switch. If it's just very warm then it was the second switch.
I know this won't be the answer you have, but it would work.

Why not just flick two of the switches at once, then go into the room, and if neither are on, then it's the only one you didn't turn on.

Cause you don't know whether the bulb is on or off at the beginning.

Think about it. What would you do then if the light was on? You still wouldn't know which of the two you flicked it was.
My answer is correct. This is one solved riddle!!!

That would be possible, were my club a democracy. Actually, HPM may receive a fax telling him he's kicked out.
