emprworm Posted December 5, 2002 Posted December 5, 2002 Nice work to Akricu for solving the last one.once again, please if you know the answer already don't post here. If you figure it out, post it in hidden text.feel free to discuss the riddle, good luck.EMPRWORMS RIDDLE #2: Mystery Lights Your old European guest house has a problem. There are three lights upstairs on the fourth floor, and the three light switches for them are down in the basement. There is one switch per light, no more, no less. Now, this is an old early 20th century place that has no elevators, and you need to know which switch corresponds to which light. You will be having guests over in an hour and you dont want them sleeping in a dark room! So you start walking downstairs to the basement and suddenly trip and fall, badly spraining your ankle. Now you really do have a problem. With a very sore ankle, you need to identify which switch goes to which light. You cannot see the lights from way down in the basement. There are no windows to look out, and no one else to help you. You really dread the idea of going up and down 4 stories of stairs several times on your sore foot! But you need to label these switches and do it quickly. Fortunately, you were born a genious.So, you do "something" with the switches.You crawl up the stairs to the room where the lights are. After a minute, you crawl back down the stairs and label all three switches!!! What in the world did you just do?hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................
Usul Posted December 5, 2002 Posted December 5, 2002 [hide] you turn one light on and leave it on, you turn one light on and leave it on for a minuite then turn it off and you leaf the other. Then you go into each room. The first light is on, the second is warm and the third is off.[/hide]
