Can you answer this riddle?

this is a popular riddle, so people who have heard it before dont ruin it for others! I posted this before but someone named %26quot;girly%26quot; who heard it before answered right away.



You are in a room that is divided in the middle by a wall. There is a door on the dividing wall that leads to the other side of the room. In one side of the room there are three switches next to eachother that are all flipped up in the off position. In the other side of room there is a light bulb that is also off. From one side of the room there is no way of looking/getting into the other side without going through the door. Only one of the switches will turn on the light bulb. You can mess around with the switches all you want, but once you open the door and go to or look at the other room, you can not go back and change the switches. How do you figure out which switch turns on the lightbulb?



Hint: it has everything to do with the switches!Can you answer this riddle?OK! I won't ruin it for the others!!!Can you answer this riddle?you look through the glass wall or a window and coordinate thae switchesCan you answer this riddle?Flip one switch and leave it on for a while. Then flip that one off and another one on.



Then, go in the room. If the bulb is on, that's the second switch. If the bulb isn't on but is hot, thats the first one. If the bulb is neither on nor hot, then it is the third switch.Can you answer this riddle?flip all the switches



EDIT - I see the person above me evidently has the correct answer, however - you may need to reword the question to %26quot;you can only flip one switch at a time%26quot; because if you use my answer, the damn light will turn on lolCan you answer this riddle?idk can u plz email me and tell me the answer? its killing me!



edit: OH i already knew that 1 i misread the quesiton and thought u had to somehow turn on the light, not figure out which switch turns it on, but the answer sounds familiar! SOONER winsCan you answer this riddle?uhm i dunno. flip all the switches on? sry if i ruined but i doubt i did cuz that seems to easy. whats the answer?Can you answer this riddle?uhh ... change thu bulb....Can you answer this riddle?Not fair...i hadnt heard of this one b4... :-(

the question seemed interesting so i jus worked it out...it wasnt that difficult!Can you answer this riddle?Turn on one switch for say 5 mins now turn it off, the bulb is warm. Then just before entering the room turn ANOTHER SWITCH, this light is on. The last switch do not touch as this is cold and off. 1 bulb is off and warm

2 Bulb is on

3 bulb is off and coldCan you answer this riddle?idk can u tell me?Can you answer this riddle?have someone stand in the other room and yell when the light is onCan you answer this riddle?flip all the switches one at a time?

how does someone ruin a riddle if they answer it?Can you answer this riddle?I say, Turn up all three switches in the %26quot;on position%26quot; and go through to the otherside, knowing that one of the three switches that's on, is the one connecting to the lightbulb. So, the lightbulb should be on, no matter what. (unless it burned out)-tht would suck.

Therefore, I win. (lolz)

Edit:OOOHHHHHH, I miss understood...I ddnt c the last part. woops....
