Do you think you can figure this out?

Question

There is a round room, and the only thing in it is the light, which is located in the middle of the celling. There is only one door into this room. and light cannot pass through this doorway. Outside of the room there is a hallway with three light switches. One of these switches will turn the light in the room on, the others will not.

Now you can only go into the room to see the light once.

You need to find out WHICH switch turns the light on. and like I said light does not go in out out of the doorway, and you can only look in once. How do you figure out which switch is the switch for the light in the room. Good luck.

Answer 1

Leave 1 off

Turn 2 on for a while then turn off.

Turn 3 on and leave on.

Go into room. If light off and cold, 1 is correct.

If light off and warm, 2 is correct.

If light on, 3 is correct.

Answer 2

Turn one switch on. Leave it on for one minute. Turn that switch off. Turn another switch on. Leave it on. Go into the room.

The light to the second switch will still be on. The light for the first switch will be off, but the BULB WILL STILL BE WARM . By process of elimination, the 3rd switch controls the light that is neither on or warm

Answer 3

Unscrew the light bulb..

YEAH!!

Answer 4

Must be something to do with the heat of the bulb? maybe if you turn on switch on for a few minutes, then turn it off and turn on another one. then look in the room. if the light is on you know its the one turned on at the minute, if the bulb is warm but not on then it was the first switch you had on, if the bulb is not on and not warm then its the switch that you havnt turned on yet. Hope im right!
