This is a test for all you warcraft players to see if your smarter than me. This test was made by Bill Gates like 3 years ago and the first person 2 answer it right he gave 10 grand to.But now its my test.

Ok there 2 rooms. Room 1 has three identical light switches. It has no windows, all the walls are made of cement, and the the floor too. Theres only a door to get in, and once you get out, the door shuts automatically and locks so you can't go in twice. In room 2 theres a light bulb and a door to get in. Now heres the problem. By using different combinations of the light switches how do you " deffinately " know which switch turns on the light bulb.

Here is a diagram if you are confused.

That my friend is easy. You flcik one switch. after a couple minutes u switch it off. Then u flick the second switch. U go into the room. If the lightbulb is on its the second switch. If the lightbulb is off then it is the third switch u didnt touch. If the lightbulb is hot/warm its the first one u flicked.

How the hell would it be on the second switch? It could theoretically be any of the three, and if you go to check it, and you're wrong, you lose.

Ugh, it reminds me of all the circuit diagrams I had to do back in Physics class. The demons of my past :( ..

At first I thought SimonSims was implying that Bill Gates made this test specifically for Wc3 players, and for a second there, I was like "Wtf."

Uh...the way you explained it when you try to turn a light switch on you're trapped in room 1.

Will someone explain how this works? It's like shooting a gun in the dark at a moving bird.

turn a switch on ..wait a while turn it off.. turn the 2nd switch on.. go into room.. if light is not on, this means its not the second switch. but.. if u feel the light, and it is warm then it has to be the 1st switch ince u turhned it on previously then turned it off. and sicne the 2nd switch is turned on and the light isnt lit it isnt that 1. now if the light isnt warm or on then it must me the 3rd switch. really easy if you think bout it

LOL, you've obviously heard it before, don't try to act like you just came up with that.
