Something to think about
Which Switch? Can you figure it out? There are three lights inside a room at the end of a long hall. The switches are at the other end of the hall. The lights are all off. You may manipulate the switches and walk down to the room only once. How can you work out which switch controls each light? Notes: There are no mirrors in the hall. You cannot see the lights from where the switches are. There are no tricks. It really can be done! |
