Re: More lateral puzzles #106598 December 7th, 2004 at 04:51 AM A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Three switches outside a windowless room are connected to three light bulbs inside the room. How can you determine which switch is connected to which bulb if you may enter the room only once?

If the switches are out of reach from the doorway, then I'd go in the room, and have someone else switch the left switch, then middle, then right, and see which lights up when.

Re: More lateral puzzles #106601 December 8th, 2004 at 08:33 AM A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Hmmm, Geegee, that IS a logical guess, but let's say you are alone and the light switches are situated so that you would have to leave the room to operate them and cannot see the open door from them. (Your answer IS simpler, though! )

Flip one switch on, but don't go in the room. Leave it on for like a year, so it burns out. THEN flip a second switch. Go in the room, find out which of the bulbs is burned out, and that's the first switch. The second switch is the bulb that's lit up, and the third is the unlit, unburned out bulb. HA! Is that it?

Then flip a 2nd switch on and go into the room. Of the two that are lit, you feel wich one is the hotest, that was the first switch, the other one that is on is the 2nd switch and the one that is off is the 3rd switch.

Re: More lateral puzzles #106608 December 9th, 2004 at 09:55 AM A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Adults are holding children, waiting their turn. The children are handed (one at a time, usually) to a man, who holds them while a woman shoots them. If the child is crying, the man tries to stop the crying before the child is shot.
