    There is a square room with no windows and only one door. Inside the room there is a single lamp. Outside the room there are three lightswitches (A,B and C).

    You are only allowed to open the door ONCE. How do you ditermine which switch turns on the light?

    -and you cant keep the door open, look under the door, break down the wall, have someone else in the room or anything to this effect-

    Post answers and/or new riddles.

    If two of the switches operate lights that can be seen from outside the room, then the one that appears to have no effect is the one for the light in the room. ???

    Do we actually need to know which switch it is, or do we just want to turn the light on? If we just want to turn the light on then operate all three switches and be done with it!

    Let people keep guessing for now. If nobody gets it in a couple of days then give the answer. I think someone will get it though (even if they cheat and look it up online somewhere).

    I'm gonna be thinking about this one now, so I don't want the answer revealed too soon.... :slight_smile:

    Clue: the aim is just to find out which switch is connected to the light. You dont need to be in the room with the light on.

    And you could just put all three switches on but thats not the point of the riddle! Oh the fun of logic. I took physics...you've got to expect some degree of geekiness

    You turn on switch A first, wait a few seconds, then turn it off. Next, turn on switch B, then go into the room. Touch the light bulb. If the light bulb is hot, It's light switch A, If it's on now, it's light switch B, But if the bulb is still cold, it's light switch C.

    Darn It! Darn It!

    A fire fighter, a paramedic and a chef were playing poker, then all of the sudden cops come in come into the room and arrests the fire fighter. The cops said that the fire fighter was involved with a murder and a witness said that the killer lived at this address, but the chef and fire fighter never knew anything about the murder. How did the cops know the fire fighter was a murderer?

    Hint: The witness said something that made it easy to pick out the killer out of the three and the witness never knew that the killer was a fire fighter.
