There is a hall that leads into an empty room. The room is completely empty except for a lamp in one of the corners.

On the other side of the hall are 3 switches. You know that one of them turns on the lamp, the other 2 don't do anything.

You can play around with the switches turning each of them on and off as much as you like, then you can go into the room 1 (one!!) time to check whether the lamp is on or off (there is a door so you can't know without entering the room).

Leaving the room, you have to know which of the 3 switches works and which 2 don't.

How do you do it?

I think I remember this one. You turn on any two switches for a long period of time. Then turn off one of the switches. Go in the room and if the light is on, the correct switch is the switch still on, if the bulb is warm the correct switch is the one you just turned off, and if the bulb is cool, the correct switch is the one you never flipped.

Ok, Joe bets Tony $100 that he can predict the score of the football game before it starts. Tony agrees, but loses the bet. Why did Tony lose the bet?

Hey Boog, I am not usually good at that sort of thing, but if you keep throwing the first grade level stuff at me I might stand a chance! Very Happy

Ok maybe this one will be a little tougher.

What happened in 1961 and will not happen again until 6009?
