There are three light switches in a hallway, all in the "off" position. Only one controls a light bulb in a room around the corner that you cannot see. You can flip the switches however you like, but you can only enter the room once. How do you find the right switch?
Turn on the first switch and wait a few minutes. Turn it off and turn on the second switch. Enter the room. If the light is on, it’s the second switch. If the light is off but the bulb is warm, it’s the first. If it's off and cold, it’s the third.
