You have 3 switches, but they are not labelled. Each switch corresponds to one of three light bulbs in a room. Each light bulb is either on or off. You can turn the switches on and off as many times as you want, but you can only enter the room one time to observe the light bulbs. How can you figure out which switch corresponds to which light bulb?

• Turn switch 1 to ON for 5 minutes, and then. Turn switch 2 to ON and enter the room. The lamp on is switch 2. The lamp hot but off is switch 1. So the lamp off and the lamp hot is number 5
