Another Riddle, by the Riddler?


You are in one room, with TEN lights. Your friend is in another room with ONE lamp. You are not aloud to speak to eachother before the expirement, and the rooms are far away so you can't yell at eachother.

Good Luck.

Your job is to figure out which light turns on the lamp. You have to fiddle around with the lights, and then call your friend with a telephone and ask ONLY ONE QUESTION!. The answer he/she gives you should answer which switch turns on the lamp.

You have to figure out what you have to do with the lights, and then figure out your one question.

You only have one question, so use it wisely.

First one to answer the riddle correctly, gets the 10 points.

@Mike S. Congrats! But, please, tell me this. Did you already know my two riddles or did you just figure it out?

Turn on the first switch one time.
Turn on the second switch two times.
and so on.

Ask "How many times did the light come on?"

Edit--- Thanks, I just figure them out...

you cant speak to one another as stated previously. therefor you cannot ask the question.

havent a clue sorry thanx 4 the 2 points.

Call the friend and ask him the precise time his light came on. You were timing it and will remember which switch you flicked at that moment.

The question shld be: plz touch the lamp and tell me if its hot.
Have to turn on each of the light one at a time for 2 mins and call up the friend and ask the question. If he says its hot, then the lamp was turned on with the light u just switchd on.

Flip the first switch on and off 1 time, the 2nd two times the third 3 ect. ect. Call and ask the person how many times the lamp came on and off. their answer will be which switch turns it on and off.

I know, he beat me by 53 seconds, oh well, that's life. When I started typing there were only 2 answers, guess I need to learn to type faster. Good riddle btw, took several min to figure it out.

ask them which one turns on the lamp^^

That's a pretty good one - A shame someone already answered with the correct answer. :(

Turn on all your lights

use morse code
