Maquissar Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Oh my. I've always sucked at riddling. Oh well... There is a closed door, that, of course, leads to a room. Just imagine your average room, your bedroom perhaps, it'll do. For some strange reason, I had a vision of a tiny cell with no furniture except a table and two wooden chairs and a metal door, but I have a sick mind :) However, there are three switches outside of this room. ONE of them turns the light on inside the room, the other two do nothing. You have to ascertain which of these switches is the one that turns the light on. You can flick each switch only once.When you are ready, you can enter the room, just know that once you are in youcan't come out again unless you have the solution.No peeking through keyholes - from outside the room, there is no way to know if the light is turned on or off.

Alexander the Great Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 If only one switch works then you switch all three of them. The two that dont work wont do anything and therefor not matter, but the switch that works will be on. Simple really, or am i just not getting the question?

Maquissar Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 You don't need to turn the light on inside the room. You need to know exactly WHICH switch turns the light on inside the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyjet3 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Got it... Turn on the first switch and wait about 2 mins, Now turn off the first switch and turn on the second switch then walk in, Find the light bulb and feel it... -If it is on Switch 2 is the correct switch-If it is off and cold Switch 3 is the correct switch-If it is off and warm Swich 1 is the correct switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maquissar Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Good answer. But you shouldn't be able to turn it back off, I think. However, it's the correct solution, technically... you just:turn the first switch on, wait a few minutes, turn the second switch on and enter. If the light is off, it's the third switch.If the light is on and warm, it's the first switch.If the light is on and cold, it's the second switch. Now it's your turn to ask a riddle :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyjet3 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Here is my favorite riddle ever... It is 2:00am and a man is in a room pacing. After about half an hour he picks up the phone and dials a number. When a person answers, the man hangs up the phone and goes to sleep... Explain everything that happened? Ask yes or no questions only, I'm keep track of them each post... If it gets hard I'll give hints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he save in his autoPhoneAnswerer (make up your words XD) a message to make sleep.Then, he phones himself to hear the message and he falls sleeping. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
