Basement Attic Light Switch Riddle

That is switch on 1 2 wait a minute switch off two and go to the attic and check if the bulb is on hot or cold.

Basement attic light switch riddle.

I was thinking about the light switches. There are three light bulbs in your attic. However you know the light is off to start. You can play with the switches as much as you want and after that you can visit the attic above just once.

How can you find out which switch to which bulb corresponds. Then switch 1 would be the switch. The famous light bulb riddle. There are three switches in the basement two of which are useless one is connected to a lightbulb in the attic.

If insulation is packed too tightly around the light fixture it may be trapping heat around the light fixture canister causing the limit switch to overheat and shut down the light fixture. Switch 3 on 5 minutes then off. There are 3 switches downstairs each corresponding to one of the light bulbs upstairs. One of them controls a lamp in the attic and two of them do nothing.

You are in a basement with three light. The light on is the second and the light off is the switch you didn t flip. It s basically the same solution as our first idea. All of them are turned off and their switches are installed downstairs.

You are in the basement of a house where there are are three identical on off switches. Compare the wattage on the light bulb with the rating printed on the light fixture. As long as you don t stop for a beer before running up the light that s off but warm to the touch is the first switch. Outside of the closet there are three light switches.

Test your brain logic by trying to solve this real life situation riddle. Go upstairs and touch the bulb. How can you figure out which light switch goes to which light bulb by only making 1 trip upstairs. The door is closed and you cannot see if the light is on or off through the door.

Switch 2 on 5 minutes then shut off. Switch 1 leave on 5 minutes then shut off. If you have 3 switches downstairs have a time delay of 5 minutes between each switch. Install a lower wattage lightbulb if necessary.

Flip a second switch and run up to the attic. You have no way to see into the attic or to see reflected light from the attic. If you go upstairs to the attic you are not allowed to return to basement.
