      Figure this out #2

      3 switches in one room control 3 light bulbs on table lamps in another room.

      You cannot see from one room to the other (not through doors, windows, or even shadows).

      You can only enter the room with the lamps once.

      Figure out which switch controls which lamp. (all 3)

      (I had to look at the answer to this one.....think outside the box)

      Pah-lease. They use this in interview questions for any job that requires you to think.

      Don't post new ones until you've given the answer to the old one!

      What if they're fluorescent light bulbs with low heat output?

      My solution: "Hey Barbara! Could you tell me which light bulb is flicking on and off right now?"

      You guys got the answer to the old one.

      It was bad math.

      30 - 5 = 25
      25 + 2 = 27
      9 x 3 = 27

      27 + 2 = 29 was the equation that mislead you. It does not apply

      So... wouldn't that tell you only one?

      Ohh.... wait... then you turn one on?

      So one on and off, and one on?

      You keep one on for a long time, turn it off, turn a second one on, keep the third one off. Go to the other side and touch the two that are off. The one that is still warm is #1.
