7. In the basement there are 3 light switches in the "OFF" position.
Each switch controls 1 of 3 light bulbs on the floor above.
You may flip any of the switches, but you may only go up stairs one time.
How can you determine which switch controls each light bulb ?
Answers :
1. A letter "e"
2. He was inside cleaning windows
3. The number is : 13112221. Each number describes the previous number. Starting with 1, the second line describes it 11. Then third line describes 11 as 21. Then the fourth line describes 21 as 1211. This is the pattern.
4. An Echo
5. Words
6. A Map
7. Flip any one switch to the ON position for 5 minutes. Then flip that switch OFF. Quickly flip any other switch to the ON position and run up the stairs. One of them will be hot because it was on for 5 minutes. Obviously the hot bulb is controlled by the first switch you flipped ON. The light that is currently ON is controlled by the switch you last flipped ON. The cold bulb that is OFF is controlled by the only switch left.
