A rich relation dies and leaves you £1million. The only catch is this. Ther is a sealed room with i door. On the outside of the door round the corner there are 3 light switches. Inside the room there is 1 lightbulb in the holder. You have to say which light switch operates the lightbulb and explain how you know. You can only enter the room once. No you cannot leave the door open and try all the switches. Once you leave the room you must say which switch operates the light.

oh and if u get that then this

A man was found in a barn, who had hung himself on the roof of the barn. But the roof of the barn was at least 2 feet taller than him. The only thing there was in the barn was a puddle of water beneath him, so how did he hang himself?

Right, I think I have it. Switch on the first light switch and leave it for a few minutes, then turn it off and flick on the second light switch. Go into the room. If the light is on, we know it's switch 2. If the light is off and the bulb is warm, we know it's switch 1 and if the lightis off and the bulb is cold it must be switch 3.

Correct?
