Question

Well im new here, so i hope this has not been asked before.

You are outside of a room and on the wall you see 3 light switches. The door to your right can only be opened once. One of the light switches turns on a light inside of the room. Only going in the door one time, how do you find out what light switch turns on the light inside?

You turn on the first switch for around 5 minutes and turn it off. Turn the second switch on and walk inside the room. If the light is on, it is the second switch. If it is off but warm, it is the 1st switch. If it is off and cold, then it is the third switch

Well thats too bad. I tried searching for it but i did not find it :o Thanks for informing me

Try searching for multiple keywords using the plus sign. In this instance, if you had done a search for "switches +light" (without the quotes and make sure to uncheck "Search this forum only?") you'll find all the threads started regarding this riddle.
