some thing very simple...
Its simplicity makes it all the more frustrating that I can't figure it out!
cmon
i aint gonna give more hints
3 lamps, 3 switches
how do u find out which switch turns on which lamp without looking?
Only can u go into the other room once u think u can come up with an answer using the lamps or not
You can turn all of the lamps on, then, turn one off every 2 minutes. You will be able to tell judging by the order in which you turned them off in and the temperature of the light bulbs in the lamps.
ur O SO CLOSE!!!
( explain it step-by-step like ur talking to an idiot)
but thats not the answer im looking for
I think I should refrain from guessing for a little while, so it doesn't get annoying again.
but it was a good guess...
Flip all the switches.....

then how would u tell?
You mean like this?Originally Posted by GunbladeMaster
Turn on all the switches. After 2 minutes, turn off the first switch. After anoter 2 minutes, turn off the second switch. After yet another 2 minutes, turn off the last switch. Go into the other room. Check how hot each light bulb is. The one turned off first will be the coldest, the one turned off second will be in the middle, and the one turned off last will be the warmest. Then you will be able to tell.
Note: Since this is actually restating what I had said earlier, I am not contredicting my previous statement saying I will stop guessing.

ah ill give it to ya Doomtrain 770
Turn on the the 1st switch.
Leave it on for maybe 20-30 minutes (to get warm)
Then turn on the 2nd switch and walk into the other room
Feel the lamps. The hottest bulb will be the from the 1st switch.
The cold bulb willl be from the 2nd switch.
And the bulb that is off is from the 3rd switch
See simple
Ok Doomtrain 770 how bout u continue and do a scene
Aah, I got nothing... As I had previously stated in the riddles thread, I'd rather guess than make one up (I couldn't make one up anyways). I guess someone else can go now.
anyone...
ah come on Doomtrain 770 think of something
ah well if u dont go someone else will...
