what has happened?

I was answering this, sorry I didn't read the whole thread. If there was more to the riddle, my apologies for my laziness in not finding the original riddle.

I based my answer on ...well Occum's razer. The simplest answer was the most likely. Why assume the bodies were human?

Ok, I may have posted this one in here before but:

There is a room with 3 switches. There is another room with 3 lights. Each of the switches in the first room controls one of the lights in the second. There are no windows in these rooms, and the doors are not aligned so as to see light shining from say under them.

You are allowed to flip the switches in the first room however you like, but can only go to the second room once to see which lights are on. Upon doing so, you have to tell which switches control which lights.

How do you do it?

 

[boobah]

ok im stuck i got no clue

 

[boobah]

is there a video camera?

 

[sourboy]

Nope, the two rooms are completely separate. You can't see or hear into the second room in any way, including by camera.

The only thing connecting the rooms is the wiring from switches to lights - and the answer has nothing to do with messing with the wires.

How do you do it?

You switch first switch "on" and wait for several minutes.
Then you switch it "off" and switch second switch "on".
Then you go to bulbs.

The hot bulb that is "off" is for first switch.
The bulb "on" is for second.
The cold bulb "off" is for third.

 

[boobah]

are the rooms chinese? its made out of rice paper things

 

[sourboy]

Correct leha. Heard it before, or figured it out?

 

[KaNick]

boobah, you are thinking too hard.

 

[polymath]

I'd rig up an automatic switch flipper, to flip the switches on and off in order, with a thirty second delay before it started, so I'd have time to go into the room before the automated flipper started.

Then I'd just go and look. It'd be easy.
