ANSWER: Two Rooms, Three Switches and Three Light Bulbs…


h1 Monday, March 27th, 2006

Ok, I’ll try to write this puzzle as clear as possible…

There are two rooms. One room has a table with three light switches on it. The other room has a table with three light bulbs connected to light fixtures. If you turn on all three switches in one room, all three light bulbs will turn on. If you turn off all three switches, all three lights bulbs will turn off.
The puzzle is this…
You have one turn to set the light switches, and then go to the other room and tell which switch goes to which light. Meaning, you set the switches and go to the other room and give the answer. You can’t go back and forth. You only have one shot. You cannot see one room from the other.

ANSWER: Bring Me Exactly 7 Cups of Water


h1 Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

I will give you two containers…
One holds exactly 3 cups, and the other holds exactly 5 cups.
I want you to go to the river and bring me back exactly 7 cups of water using those two containers.

The containers are not measuring containers, they have no markings. All we know is that they hold exactly 3 cups and exactly 5 cups.
You can’t estimate either. You must bring back exactly 7 cups of water.
