Are you guys familiar with the 3 switch 3 bulb puzzle?
So it goes like this:
Suppose that you are standing in a hallway next to 3 light switches, which are all off. There is another room down the hallway, where there are 3 incandescent light bulbs – each light bulb is operated by one of the switches in the hallway. Because the light bulbs are in another room, you can not see them since you are standing in the hallway.
How would you figure out which switch operates which light bulb, if you can only go the room with the light bulbs one time, and only one time?
So basically the puzzle wants you to figure out which switch corresponds to which bulb inside room.
I've seen lots of creative answers to this question but nothing purely or at least part logical.
Is there a mathematical answer to this question?
What do you guys think?
