Light bulbs
There are three switches and one light bulb, which is kept in a locked room. You are only allowed to go into the room once. How do you tell which switch controls the light bulb? (there is only one such switch)

Re: Light bulbs
Just inserted the hide tag for you, wcy, so that people can puzzle over it if they wish.
