Are you for real? Tell me you didn't just heard of this and are so enthusiastic over it you decided to post it. This one's aaaaancient.

I've heard it so long ago but just came across it a while ago.

And then again, I am not cool.

Oohh nostalgia then I've got one for you:

There are two rooms. One of them has three lamps, the other one has three light switches connected to the lamps in the other room.

You are in the room with the light switches and it is impossible for you to look into the other room.

You can only leave ONE lightswitch switched on and go into the other room ONCE to check which lamp you switched on.

How do you find out which lightswitches are connected to each of the lamps?

That I know, do you want the answer or shall I leave it for others to figure it out?

You switch on one switch and leave it on for a small while, turn it off and turn another on then go to the room.

The lamp that is on is operated by the switch that is on, the lamp that is hot is operated by the switch that you turned on earlier and the last is for the other one. This is a nice one actually.

Ok here's another one:

You have a rope that burns non-homogeneouly but it takes one hour to totally burn. This does not mean that burning half its length is half an hour.

If you have two of this rope, how can you time 45 minutes.

 

[Menace]

is this supposed to be fun?

 

[Slagathor]

Only if you're intelligent I suppose
