Down in The Cellar - Solution
The Problem:
 |
In your cellar there are three light switches in the OFF position.
Each switch controls 1 of 3 light bulbs on floor above. |
You may move
any of the switches but you may only go upstairs to inspect the bulbs
one time. How can you determine the switch for each bulb with one
inspection??
The Solution:
Number the switches 1, 2 & 3 Switch on number 1 for 10 seconds,
then switch it off. Switch on number 2. Go upstairs... The light
that is on is connected to switch 2. The light that is off and warm
is connected to switch 1. The light that is off and cold is connected
to switch 3!!
