The way I read the puzzle this was a three-engined plane, and not necessarily a jet.

I believe the first "Jet" passenger aircraft with 4 engines was...

....The tanker, called the KC- 135, was a huge success as a military plane but even more successful when revamped and introduced in 1958 as the first U.S. passenger jet, the Boeing 707. With a length of 125 feet and four engines with 17,000 pounds of thrust, the 707 could carry up to 181 passengers and travel at speeds as high as 550 miles per hour....

Joe,

Since the first flight of the 747-100 had it first flight on 02-09-69 and had four engines, I think it would be a mistake to assume that 20 years ago planes didn't have more than two. I mean that baby is 36 years old.

Y'all are working too hard . . .

Use the one trip to the "bulb room" to set up a remove video camera, then set up a monitor in the room with the switches. Viola! You'll only need to flip two switches in order to map the switches to their associated bulbs. (Works regardless of bulb type, too, including "cool" bulbs. Nobody ever said you couldn't use additional tools or equipment!)

Another puzzle:

It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. (If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany.) Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the remaining engine also fails and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors?

a) East Germany
b) West Germany
c) In "no man's land"
d) Other (please specify)

First correct answer wins the "Brainiac of the Week" award.

Hello Listers,

This is completely way off topic and I thought some of our great
thinkers
here might just enjoy this!

While working the other day one of my colleages quized us what was a
really
interesting quiz question.. I guessed the answer right - took me a while
though!

Ok the quiz/problem is as follows...

There are 2 rooms, one room has 3 electric bulbs, and the other room has
3
switches, one switch each for bulb... You do know which switch would
turn on
which bulb. You are given the task to find out but...

You are allowed just 1 visit to the room that has the bulbs, and any 2
switches to turn on, and figure out which switch b! elongs to which bulb..

It is not possible to see the results of turning on a bulb from the room
you
are in. So just 1 visit, use any 2 switches, and figure which switch
belongs
to what bulb...

Please do not reply to the list if you do not want to spoil the fun for
those who are trying to figure out the quiz..

Enjoy!!

Have a nice weekend all of you!

size=2>Hmmm... Turn switch one on and let it stay on for a
while.
Then
turn on switch two for less time than switch one. Head into the
next
room. The bulb that is really hot to the touch is for switch
one
and
the bulb that is just warm to the touch is for switch two. The bulb that
is
not
lit is, of course, for switch three.

Not only that, but the first really successful jetliner, the Boeing 707,
had four engines. Way back in the dark ages, I used to work on its
military counterpart, the KC-135. Believe me, under a full load, you
needed every bit of thrust from each of those clunky old turbojets just
to get off the ground. In fact, you had to sort of cheat and spray
demineralized water into the combustion chamber to get enough power out
of them.

And MAN were they loud!

Yes, the first "Jet" passenger aircraft did have 4 engines but it was a DeHavilland Comet, which began service on May 2, 1952. :-)

Joe,

Since the first flight of the 747-100 had it first flight on 02-09-69 and had four engines, I think it would be a mistake to assume that 20 years ago planes didn't have more than two. I mean that baby is 36 years old.

Hello Listers,

This is completely way off topic and I thought some of our great
thinkers
here might just enjoy this!

While working the other day one of my colleages quized us what was a
really
interesting quiz question.. I guessed the answer right - took me a while
though!

Ok the quiz/problem is as follows...

There are 2 rooms, one room has 3 electric bulbs, and the other room has
3
switches, one switch each for bulb... You do know which switch would
turn on
which bulb. You are given the task to find out but...

You are allowed just 1 visit to the room that has the bulbs, and any 2
switches to turn on, and figure out which switch b! elongs to which bulb..

It is not possible to see the results of turning on a bulb from the room
you
are in. So just 1 visit, use any 2 switches, and figure which switch
belongs
to what bulb...

Please do not reply to the list if you do not want to spoil the fun for
those who are trying to figure out the quiz..

Enjoy!!

Have a nice weekend all of you!

size=2>Hmmm... Turn switch one on and let it stay on for a
while.
Then
turn on switch two for less time than switch one. Head into the
next
room. The bulb that is really hot to the touch is for switch
one
and
the bulb that is just warm to the touch is for switch two. The bulb that
is
not
lit is, of course, for switch three.

Joe,

Since the first flight of the 747-100 had it first flight on 02-09-69 and had four engines, I think it would be a mistake to assume that 20 years ago planes didn't have more than two. I mean that baby is 36 years old.

here might just enjoy this!

 

While working the other day one of my colleages quized us what was a
really interesting quiz question.. I guessed the answer right - took me a
while though!

 

Ok the quiz/problem is as follows...

 

There are 2 rooms, one room has 3 electric bulbs, and the other room
has
3 switches, one switch each for bulb... You do know which switch
would turn on which bulb. You are given the task to find out but...

 

You are allowed just 1 visit to the room that has the bulbs, and any
2
switches to turn on, and figure out which switch belongs to which
bulb..

 

It is not possible to see the results of turning on a bulb from the
room
you are in. So just 1 visit, use any 2 switches, and figure which switch
belongs to what bulb...

 

Please do not reply to the list if you do not want to spoil the
fun
for those who are trying to figure out the quiz..

 

Enjoy!!

 

Have a nice weekend all of you!

Greetings,

Personally I thought it was a trick question....

(it clearly states in the quiz that you already know which switch
controls which lightbulb ;)

Since it has already been ruined, I will give my answer.

First, turn on switch # 1 and leave on for 1 minute.

Second, turn on switch #2.

Third, go to the room, the bulb for switch #1 will be dark, but warm,
the bulb for switch two will be lit and the bulb for switch # 3 will
dark and room temperature.

Hmmm... Turn switch one on and let it stay on for a while. Then turn on
switch two for less time than switch one. Head into the next room. The
bulb
that is really hot to the touch is for switch one and the bulb that is

This assumes these are incandescent bulbs...if they are halogen you're in trouble. Or if they are those that stay cool to the touch :)

As with any riddle, there are assumptions made. To properly answer the riddle, you really should identify the assumptions. But then that would be to much like work.

Since it has already been ruined, I will give my answer.

First, turn on switch # 1 and leave on for 1 minute.

Second, turn on switch #2.

Third, go to the room, the bulb for switch #1 will be dark, but warm,
the bulb for switch two will be lit and the bulb for switch # 3 will
dark and room temperature.

Hmmm... Turn switch one on and let it stay on for a while. Then turn on
switch two for less time than switch one. Head into the next room. The
bulb
that is really hot to the touch is for switch one and the bulb that is
just
warm to the touch is for switch two. The bulb that is not lit is, of

for switch three.

Hello Listers,

This is completely way off topic and I thought some of our great
thinkers
here might just enjoy this!

While working the other day one of my colleages quized us what was a
really
interesting quiz question.. I guessed the answer right - took me a while
though!

Ok the quiz/problem is as follows...

There are 2 rooms, one room has 3 electric bulbs, and the other room has
3
switches, one switch each for bulb... You do know which switch would
turn on
which bulb. You are given the task to find out but...

You are allowed just 1 visit to the room that has the bulbs, and any 2
switches to turn on, and figure out which switch belongs to which bulb..

It is not possible to see the results of turning on a bulb from the room
you
are in. So just 1 visit, use any 2 switches, and figure which switch
belongs
to what bulb...

Please do not reply to the list if you do not want to spoil the fun for

Enjoy!!

Have a nice weekend all of you!

It should work with any type of light bulb, but if its halogen it could
be a bit painful.

Hello Listers,

This is completely way off topic and I thought some of our great
thinkers
here might just enjoy this!

While working the other day one of my colleages quized us what was a
really
interesting quiz question.. I guessed the answer right - took me a while
though!

Ok the quiz/problem is as follows...

There are 2 rooms, one room has 3 electric bulbs, and the other room has
3
switches, one switch each for bulb... You do know which switch would
turn on
which bulb. You are given the task to find out but...

You are allowed just 1 visit to the room that has the bulbs, and any 2
switches to turn on, and figure out which switch belongs to which bulb..

It is not possible to see the results of turning on a bulb from the room
you
are in. So just 1 visit, use any 2 switches, and figure which switch
belongs
to what bulb...

Please do not reply to the list if you do not want to spoil the fun for
those who are trying to figure out the quiz..

Enjoy!!

Have a nice weekend all of you!

I was going take the switches out, wire in two 110 feeds to one of the leads
which should blow out that bulb. Then just turn one of the others on. :)

right. ;)

-ps for another fun riddle that takes a bit longer to solve (as is oddly
geared to geeky things a Remedy person would know), take a look at:
http://deathball.net/notpron (dubbed "the hardest riddle on the Internet").
For the last several months, I've played with this one a few hours a week
and still haven't solved it completely.

How many listers does it take to answer a light bulb question .....

[One, and 45 to analyze it until they find another work around].

... Daniel
ps. but why not just use a JAVA plug-in and add it to Stan's EAF?

Since it has already been ruined, I will give my answer.

First, turn on switch # 1 and leave on for 1 minute.

Second, turn on switch #2.

Third, go to the room, the bulb for switch #1 will be dark, but warm,
the bulb for switch two will be lit and the bulb for switch # 3 will
dark and room temperature.

Hmmm... Turn switch one on and let it stay on for a while. Then turn on
switch two for less time than switch one. Head into the next room. The
bulb
that is really hot to the touch is for switch one and the bulb that is
just
warm to the touch is for switch two. The bulb that is not lit is, of

for switch three.

Hello Listers,

This is completely way off topic and I thought some of our great
thinkers
here might just enjoy this!

While working the other day one of my colleages quized us what was a
really
interesting quiz question.. I guessed the answer right - took me a while
though!

Ok the quiz/problem is as follows...

There are 2 rooms, one room has 3 electric bulbs, and the other room has
3
switches, one switch each for bulb... You do know which switch would
turn on
which bulb. You are given the task to find out but...

You are allowed just 1 visit to the room that has the bulbs, and any 2
switches to turn on, and figure out which switch belongs to which bulb..

It is not possible to see the results of turning on a bulb from the room
you
are in. So just 1 visit, use any 2 switches, and figure which switch
belongs
to what bulb...

Please do not reply to the list if you do not want to spoil the fun for
those who are trying to figure out the quiz..

Enjoy!!

Have a nice weekend all of you!

Thats why I specifically said BULBS.. All light bulbs are tungsten, others are derivatives of tubes that stay cool :-)

Don't know if it's true, but I heard a stroy about Edison. He wanted to hire an assistant. By this time he had a reputation and lots of people applied.

To assess the applicants, he gave each a light bulb and asked them to work out its volume. One after the other they got out calipers and such, plotted the curve of the bulbe, and sat down to do some differential calculus.

Then one guy said, can I use your work shop. Edison said yes, so the guy got a small drill, dirlled a hole through the base of the bulb, filled it with water, then poured the water into a beaker, took a quick look at the level and trotted off to tell Edison the volume - he got the job.

That custom code would enable you to have each light bulb notify you
when they changed state without you having to change anything but data
afterward. Who would buy into that first product anyway? Really!
Only one notification allowed?

Y'all are working too hard . . .

Use the one trip to the "bulb room" to set up a remove video camera, then set up a monitor in the room with the switches. Viola! You'll only need to flip two switches in order to map the switches to their associated bulbs. (Works regardless of bulb type, too, including "cool" bulbs. Nobody ever said you couldn't use additional tools or equipment!)

Another puzzle:

It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. (If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany.) Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the remaining engine also fails and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors?

a) East Germany
b) West Germany
c) In "no man's land"
d) Other (please specify)

First correct answer wins the "Brainiac of the Week" award.

Subject: OT: Friday Quiz: The Bulbs and Switches problem..


**
Hello Listers,

This is completely way off topic and I thought some of our great
thinkers
here might just enjoy this!

While working the other day one of my colleages quized us what was a
really
interesting quiz question.. I guessed the answer right - took me a while
though!

Ok the quiz/problem is as follows...

There are 2 rooms, one room has 3 electric bulbs, and the other room has
3
switches, one switch each for bulb... You do know which switch would
turn on
which bulb. You are given the task to find out but...

You are allowed just 1 visit to the room that has the bulbs, and any 2
switches to turn on, and figure out which switch belongs to which bulb..

It is not possible to see the results of turning on a bulb from the room
you
are in. So just 1 visit, use any 2 switches, and figure which switch
belongs
to what bulb...

Please do not reply to the list if you do not want to spoil the fun for
those who are trying to figure out the quiz..

Enjoy!!

Have a nice weekend all of you!

size=2>Hmmm... Turn switch one on and let it stay on for a
while.
Then
turn on switch two for less time than switch one. Head into the
next
room. The bulb that is really hot to the touch is for switch
one
and
the bulb that is just warm to the touch is for switch two. The bulb that
is
not
lit is, of course, for switch three.

Y'all are working too hard . . .

Use the one trip to the "bulb room" to set up a remove video camera, then set up a monitor in the room with the switches. Viola! You'll only need to flip two switches in order to map the switches to their associated bulbs. (Works regardless of bulb type, too, including "cool" bulbs. Nobody ever said you couldn't use additional tools or equipment!)

Another puzzle:

It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. (If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany.) Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the remaining engine also fails and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors?

a) East Germany
b) West Germany
c) In "no man's land"
d) Other (please specify)

First correct answer wins the "Brainiac of the Week" award.

It doesn't really matter where you bury the survivors - you are going to be more concerned with getting you sentence commuted after your murder trial :).

Joe,

Since the first flight of the 747-100 had it first flight on 02-09-69 and had four engines, I think it would be a mistake to assume that 20 years ago planes didn't have more than two. I mean that baby is 36 years old.

Unfortunately the remaining engine also fails and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors?

a) East Germany
b) West Germany
c) In "no man's land"
d) Other (please specify)

First correct answer wins the "Brainiac of the Week" award.

Subject: OT: Friday Quiz: The Bulbs and Switches problem..


**
Hello Listers,

This is completely way off topic and I thought some of our great
thinkers
here might just enjoy this!

While working the other day one of my colleages quized us what was a
really
interesting quiz question.. I guessed the answer right - took me a while
though!

Ok the quiz/problem is as follows...

There are 2 rooms, one room has 3 electric bulbs, and the other room has
3
switches, one switch each for bulb... You do know which switch would
turn on
which bulb. You are given the task to find out but...

You are allowed just 1 visit to the room that has the bulbs, and any 2
switches to turn on, and figure out which switch belongs to which bulb..

It is not possible to see the results of turning on a bulb from the room
you
are in. So just 1 visit, use any 2 switches, and figure which switch
belongs
to what bulb...

Please do not reply to the list if you do not want to spoil the fun for
those who are trying to figure out the quiz..

Enjoy!!

Have a nice weekend all of you!

size=2>Hmmm... Turn switch one on and let it stay on for a
while.
Then
turn on switch two for less time than switch one. Head into the
next
room. The bulb that is really hot to the touch is for switch
one
and
the bulb that is just warm to the touch is for switch two. The bulb that
is
not
lit is, of course, for switch three.

I believe the first "Jet" passenger aircraft with 4 engines was...

....The tanker, called the KC- 135, was a huge success as a military plane but even more successful when revamped and introduced in 1958 as the first U.S. passenger jet, the Boeing 707. With a length of 125 feet and four engines with 17,000 pounds of thrust, the 707 could carry up to 181 passengers and travel at speeds as high as 550 miles per hour....

Joe,

Since the first flight of the 747-100 had it first flight on 02-09-69 and had four engines, I think it would be a mistake to assume that 20 years ago planes didn't have more than two. I mean that baby is 36 years old.

Y'all are working too hard . . .

Use the one trip to the "bulb room" to set up a remove video camera, then set up a monitor in the room with the switches. Viola! You'll only need to flip two switches in order to map the switches to their associated bulbs. (Works regardless of bulb type, too, including "cool" bulbs. Nobody ever said you couldn't use additional tools or equipment!)

Another puzzle:

It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. (If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany.) Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the remaining engine also fails and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors?

a) East Germany
b) West Germany
c) In "no man's land"
d) Other (please specify)

First correct answer wins the "Brainiac of the Week" award.

Hello Listers,

This is completely way off topic and I thought some of our great
thinkers
here might just enjoy this!

While working the other day one of my colleages quized us what was a
really
interesting quiz question.. I guessed the answer right - took me a while
though!

Ok the quiz/problem is as follows...

There are 2 rooms, one room has 3 electric bulbs, and the other room has
3
switches, one switch each for bulb... You do know which switch would
turn on
which bulb. You are given the task to find out but...

You are allowed just 1 visit to the room that has the bulbs, and any 2
switches to turn on, and figure out which switch b! elongs to which bulb..

It is not possible to see the results of turning on a bulb from the room
you
are in. So just 1 visit, use any 2 switches, and figure which switch
belongs
to what bulb...

Please do not reply to the list if you do not want to spoil the fun for
those who are trying to figure out the quiz..

Enjoy!!

Have a nice weekend all of you!

size=2>Hmmm... Turn switch one on and let it stay on for a
while.
Then
turn on switch two for less time than switch one. Head into the
next
room. The bulb that is really hot to the touch is for switch
one
and
the bulb that is just warm to the touch is for switch two. The bulb that
is
not
lit is, of course, for switch three.

It is so nice to know that I am not the only person with useless information tucked away in my head.

Might I also point out that one of the reasons I picked the 747 for my reference is that it is still flying today.

I believe the first "Jet" passenger aircraft with 4 engines was...

....The tanker, called the KC- 135, was a huge success as a military plane but even more successful when revamped and introduced in 1958 as the first U.S. passenger jet, the Boeing 707. With a length of 125 feet and four engines with 17,000 pounds of thrust, the 707 could carry up to 181 passengers and travel at speeds as high as 550 miles per hour....

Joe,

Since the first flight of the 747-100 had it first flight on 02-09-69 and had four engines, I think it would be a mistake to assume that 20 years ago planes didn't have more than two. I mean that baby is 36 years old.

Y'all are working too hard . . .

Use the one trip to the "bulb room" to set up a remove video camera, then set up a monitor in the room with the switches. Viola! You'll only need to flip two switches in order to map the switches to their associated bulbs. (Works regardless of bulb type, too, including "cool" bulbs. Nobody ever said you couldn't use additional tools or equipment!)

Another puzzle:

It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. (If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany.) Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the remaining engine also fails and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors?

a) East Germany
b) West Germany
c) In "no man's land"
d) Other (please specify)

First correct answer wins the "Brainiac of the Week" award.
