Your prize is....Its your turn to post a riddle?

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Is it when Aston Villa, Arsenal, Brighton, Manchester United and Sunderland all win 4-1 you should bet on West Ham and Spurs drawing 4-4 because the odds will be quite good and you'll win lots of money?

Ok, here is one:

Imagine you are in a room with 3 switches. In an adjacent room there are 3 bulbs, each switch belongs to one bulb. All are off at the moment. It is impossible to see from one room to another. No help from anybody else is allowed. How can you find out which switch belongs to which bulb, if you may enter the room with the bulbs only once?

Contact the owner of the building and get the wiring drawings for the building.

Switch one of the bulbs on, then wait a few minutes and switch it off again. Then, switch another one of the bulbs on and go into the room with the bulbs to see which one is on. While you're there, touch the remaining two bulbs to see which one is warm, and you'll know that that one goes with the first switch you used.

Good work Frutos. Can I just say the initial riddle was SHIT, because they aren't all 4-1 if one of them is 4-4, are they? It should be 'mostly for one and one for all'.

yes that would work, but there is another solution...

 

[Simster]

Is there? Frutos's solution is the only one I know of...

 

[Badger]

Is there? Frutos's solution is the only one I know of...

That's what I thought and I've just realised the other solution (which the guy in my office has now told me) is a load of rubbish, I shall give him a slap.


Anyway, Frutos, it must be your turn again...

 

[Easy 10]

I want to know the rubbish solution

 

[Badger]

I want to know the rubbish solution

He got it off a website (I asked if anyone knew any riddles and he cheated) and it gives the answer as:

"You only need to turn on 1 switch as each switch belongs to one bulb. Walk into the other room and remove another bulb. "

which would clearly mean going back into the room again afterwards.
