"one person and 3 light bulbs"
|
Well, the 100 prisoners and one light bulb was too hard for me, but I was able to solve the following one. See if you can work it out. You are in a room in a building, and the building only has 2 rooms. There is no visibility between the two rooms. The room you are in has 3 light switches. The other room has 3 light globes which are operated by the switches in your room. You have to work out which switch works which globe. You can only go into the other room (the one with the globes) once. You can't cheat by invoking another person and telling them to remember the sequence in which the lights come on. How do you work it out. Sorry if it is somewhere else on the site, I couldn't find it. |

You may be curious to have a look at the old CTK Exchange archive. Please do not post there.
