Easy logic question
In one room there are three lamps. In the adjoining room are the three light switches. You can only enter the room with the lamps once. How do you figure out which switch control each light?

2. Flip switch "A" and wait...
...Then flip it off and turn on "B."

Go in the room.

A-lamp that is off but warm.

B-lit lamp

C-cold lamp
