Wise words indeed, my friend. I got the fox and chicken across OK, but my grain was stolen and eaten by a hungry, hungry hippo.

Anyway, we're off husbandry now and onto electrical maintenance. Can you help me with my lightbulb problem? I haven't had an acceptable answer yet...

Next problem - There are 3 lightbulbs in my cellar, with the 3 switches outside at the top of the stairs. I need to find out which switch operates each bulb, but I am only allowed to enter the cellar once. What can I do?


Number the light switches 1 to 3, switch no 1 on for 15 seconds or so then switch off, switch no 2 on and then go to cellar. No 2 is the one switched on. Then feel the other 2, the warm one will be no 1 Smile

flip the 1st switch leave it on for about 2 mins, then switch it off, flip the next switch open the door.
if the light its on, its switch 2, if its off touch the bulb if its warm, its switch 1 and if its cold, its switch 3

Girls 2, Boys 0....

I`m lost in the woods. Ahead of me the path splits into two. One path leads to safety, whilst the other leads to certain death, but I don`t know which is which.

Each path has a guard. One guard always tells the truth and the other always tells lies, but again I don`t know which is the honest one and which is the liar.

How can I find out which is the safe path by only asking one question to one guard?

Ask them a simple maths question, like 1+ 1?

The one that always lies will give a false answer hopefully

Ask which id the safe path, do you deserve to go to the left or to the right?

If you ask that.. then they could reply "the right" or "the left" you would have no clue which path leads where.. or which one is false or true

No...

The honest guard will tell you on which side the safe path is. Suppose he says left.

The lying guard would say the one on the right, but since he lies, he will tell you "left" as well.

So thats the question......
