The Light Bulb Puzzle
You are in a room with three light switches, each controlling one of three light bulbs in the next room. You cannot see the bulbs from where you are. How can you figure out which switch controls which bulb if you are allowed to enter the room with the bulbs only once?
Q. How can you determine which switch controls which bulb?
Solution:
To solve this puzzle, use the following method:
- Step 1: Turn on the first switch and leave it on for a few minutes.
- Step 2: After waiting, turn off the first switch and immediately turn on the second switch.
- Step 3: Now, enter the room with the light bulbs.
Once you’re in the room:
- The bulb that is on is controlled by the second switch (since you just turned it on).
- The bulb that is off but warm is controlled by the first switch (because it was on long enough to heat up before being turned off).
- The bulb that is off and cold is controlled by the third switch (which was never turned on).
With this method, you can figure out which switch controls which bulb with just one trip to the room.
