some more to keep you occupied. :D


Imagine you are in a room with 3 switches. In an adjacent room there are 3 bulbs (all are off at the moment), each switch belongs to one bulb. It is impossible to see from one room to another. How can you find out which switch belongs to which bulb, if you may enter the room with the bulbs only once?


A table tennis ball fell into a tight deep pipe. The pipe was only a bit wider then the ball, so you can not use your hand. How would you take it out, with no damage?


A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. In the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator - or if it was raining that day - he goes back to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment. Can you explain why?


How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you, even if it doesn't hit anything, there is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it?

And the last one, lie on your back and throw the ball directly up into the air?

1) Turn one on and then wait a while. Turn another one on and go straight into the room. The bulb that is hotter is the first one you turned on, the bulb that is colder is the second one you turned on and the one that is off is the one that you didn't turn on.

2) Fill it with water.

3) He's a dwarf so the only times he can use the lift is when there's someone else taller than him to press the button or when it's raining and he can use his umbrella.

4) Throw it straight up in the air.
