    Vehicle : Jaguar XF 3.0D V6

    Trim : Black

    Engine : 3.0D V6

    Year : 0000

    Default A puzzle

    There is a room with 3 light bulbs, which all work.

    Outside the room there are 3 switches. Each switch operates one bulb.

    You can only go in the room once, and cannot see into the room from where the switches are.

    You are on your own and need to identify which switch operates which bulb.



    How do you do it??

    operate switch 1 for 40 seconds, then SW 2 for 10 seconds and dont switch SW3

    Then go feel the bulbs. the hottest one is SW 1, the coolest one is SW 2 and the cold one is SW 3

    is that it?

    Leave one bulb on, turn one off after 30 seconds of being on, and leave one off completely.

    ask someone else to go into the room and then try each switch and ask which bulb is on.
