Here's a fun riddle to solve incase you're bored or looking for a good challenege. If youv'e already heard this before, don't post the answer and ruin it for us all. :p

You’re standing in front of a door, behind that door is a room with only one lightbulb. There are 3 switches next to the door (on the outside of the room). You have to find out which one is the right one to turn on the light.

Sounds easy, huh? This is the catch: you may only enter the room once to check the light. How can you find out which switch is the right one?

Remarks:
It’s impossible to look in the room, there are no gaps. Once you go inside the room you can’t use the switches anymore, you go outside and close the door behind you. You may use the switches as often as you like and whenever you want.

:eek3:

WTF?

Nope. Once you go in the room, you can't come back outside.

But then you won't know which switch made the lightbulb light-up. Nice guess though, ;).

lol Then the whole point of the riddle would be ruined.

I give up.. what's the answer!!!???!!!

First you turn on the first switch and wait about half an hour, then turn it off. Then you turn on the secound switch and go in the room right afterwards. If the light is on, it's the secound switch. But if the light is off, check the bulb with your hands, and if it feels warm it's switch number one, and if it feels cold it's switch number three.

:clap:
