Question:

There are 3 light bulbs in a room. However there are no switches in the room. All 3 switches for these light bulbs are inside another room in another building. Your goal is to find out which switch turns on which light bulb. You start in the room with switches and can go to the room where light bulbs are in but you can't go back to the room with switches. What's your solution?

Hint: You got unlimited time.

Good luck!

Update (Answer):

A received over 400 PMs in less than an hour... I don't know if it is due to 1cito being an ass and posting the answer in the Official Gmail thread in Offtopic forum or because you all knew this already, but good job Anyways there are 2 possible solutions, 1 of them being risky.

1. You turn on 1 switch, wait 15 minutes, turn it off and turn on another one. You go to the room with light bulbs and the hot bulb out of the 2 that are not on is the first one you turned on and turned off later on. The one that's on is the last switch that you used. The one that's off and cold is the switch that you never used.

2. You constantly turn on and off one switch (you'll probably have to do it for a couple hundred times with less than 1 second intervals so the bulb connected to that switch will die. Then you turn on another switch and leave it like that. Go to the room with bulbs in it and check the bulb that has burned out. That's the first switch, the one that's on is the last switch that you used. The one that's off and cold is the switch that you never used.

Other possible answers: you wait for the night and turn on and off till you figure it out

Anyways, winners are:

1. rubisco
2. compl3x
3. Pr0digy

Thanks to the rest of you for participating I'll post again when I receive more invitations....

Xiety.

Way to give a hint.

 

[stonedoor]

That's awesome! Thanks to Magnux and hsumh for my labmate - I promised him one invitation if I have any. When I get my own invitations, I'd better give some to Magnux and let's play for fun again!

Well, it looks like someone is in luck! hsumh (one of the winners from my previous game), has generously decided to put his invite back up for grabs (thanks, hsumh!). So, in accordance with his request.. here is another trivia question!

A plane passing through the point (3,1,-1) is perpendicular to the plane 2x - 2y + z = 0, and has it's intercept on the z axis equal to -3. What is the Cartesian equation of the plane?

Format:
Ax + By + Cz + D = 0 where A, B, C, and D have no common factors

Answer(s):
5x+1y-8z-24=0

Thanks for playing!

(0) Gmail invites remaning! stonedoor answered correctly!

so, you just have to wait until night, then look out the window, and watch which light turns on, when you flip the switches...

edit: too bad xiety is offline, it would be nice to know who got it first

 

[bigwill01]

I imagine if you responded more than 3 minutes after the OP you missed out

ANSWER:

Look it up on Google!! Just type in the riddle.

Easily enough, just turn two of the light switches on. Wait a while, and then turn one of them off, then quickly enter the room. One light will be on, one off, and one off but still hot.
