Riddle me this!

[oldkicker]

There are two rooms, seperated by a 1000 yard hallway that takes a 90 degree turn. This is to ensure that no sound, light, or other information can travel from one room to the next.

Both have doors which are shut.

You are in one room, with three unlabeled switches. In the other room, there are three light bulbs. Each switch will turn on one of the light bulbs. No bulb is connected to two switches and no switch is connected to two light bulbs.

You are told that all three bulbs are off to begin with. How do you determine by only making one trip to the other room which switch is connected to which bulb?

Yesterday's:

A grandfather clock chimes the appropriate number of times to indicate the hour, as well as chiming once at each quarter hour. If you were in another room and heard the clock chime just once, what would be the longest period of time you would have to wait in order to be certain of the correct time?

You would have to wait 90 minutes between 12:15 and 1:45. Once you had heard seven single chimes, you would know that the next chime would be two chimes for 2 o'clock.

John (TC) you were the last poster on yesterday's riddle and therefore have earned a nice start to the morning....

The Arbor House is right around the corner from me, in lovely Skaneateles! They even show you how to pronounce Skaneateles!

This is one of the places that Erin completes in Figure Skating in. We've spent A LOT of time trolling through Skaneateles!

Morning Bernie.
You're up early......

I've seen this riddle before, but brain has not engaged yet this morning.
Back to the painting...(see RMC)....catch you all later...maybe....

I'm down to: painting the rocket, and clean-up

 

[dianeschlicht]

Just a quick check in. No way my fried brain is getting this one this morning. I still have a temp of over 102. I couldn't sleep, so I decided to take a look here.

 

[oldkicker]

Good morning, Stephanie! I left you a gift on yesterday's riddle!

Diane! Now you get right back to bed!!!!! 8-O

 

[oldkicker]

John! You are the first with this one this morning!
<marquee direction=left> FPWooHoo! </marquee>

Good morning to all my fellow riddle groupies!

Diane, please take care of yourself.

I was surprised to see everyone up so early this morning! (Well at least Bernie, Diane & Steph ;>) )!

Congratulations to both Steph & TC for there wins!

 

[oldkicker]

Good morning, John! I've been on a strange sleeping pattern as of late. To bed early and up early. Even earlier when Matt makes a ruckus when he gets home from work after midnight! :~-(

 

[yepod]

Are you painting my sign Bernie?! :>P :>P ;>)

Edited to say 'how could I have missed it?!'

Is that beige or tan or mustard?!?!?

 

[oldkicker]

Your second answer was a slight modification over that first one, John!

[oldkicker]

There ya' go, John! :0)

I read where the WM's have increased the number of smileys/clipart/photos to 8 in each post, but I'm still a bit put off that we have been so graphics intensive in the riddle. I can imagine that we've had dozens and dozens of graphics on each page of the riddle. I know that I like to use them A LOT!! Nothing beats a well-placed smiley or a picture riddle clue!!

 

[oldkicker]

Anyone care to guess who this smiley represents??

:-.)

Good Morning, All!

I've seen this riddle (or a variation thereof) also. I'm not sure I'm up to using any brain power this morning, though. I'm just beat.


Bernie, you and my mother sleep awfully strangely. It's nothing for her to go to bed at 7/8/9 and wake up at 2am for the day. Drives me insane. (Why I should care, I don't know....)


It's that nasty overcast, wants-to-rain-but-won't here today....again. Waste of a good summer day!

[gina2000]

Marilyn Monroe, no?

 

[yepod]

Stephanie, I hope you know you'd better e-mail a picture of the room to all the Angels & TMWLT (or we'll be comin' over for a mini-meet to check it out ;>P)

And I might add, what, no light bulb yet Steph (you're excused from harrassment Diane!)

How do you think I feel Bernie! I guess I'll have to start using assicons :>O :>O ;>)

I won't say publically who I think! LOL

 

[mickey65]

MOrning riddle friends!

Diane, hope you feel better soon!

 

[yepod]

Good morning June! Were you pitching <center>H O O W O O</center> to Ward last night?

 

[oldkicker]

That looked as close to gold as I could get, John!

Gina - that works for that smiley - there's another too!

Hoo Woo represents ALTERNATE answers!

Gail - did you just sleep on it wrong?? Hopefully it will mend itself quickly!

John!!! Nice smileys!!! : oÞ
