It was something like, "You don't want it. When you buy it, you don't use it. The user doesn't see it." It was something like that. Everyone laughed when I said manure, but I showed them by proving my correctness.
EDIT 2: Stabby's answer doesn't work, since it asks for an object and a policy doesn't count as an object, or so I think.

There is a garage with three light bulbs on the ceiling inside, outside of the garage in a separate room are three light switches but you do not know which switch turns on which light bulb in the garage.
How do you figure out what switches turn on each light?
You are only allowed to leave the switch room to goto the garage once and you cannot see inside the garage from where the switches are positioned.
Remember you can only goto and enter the garage one time, so use your noggin!

Post by: that Baby guy on June 21, 2007, 06:48:44 AM
There are some technical answers that would work, but I don't know if you'd accept them. One such answer: Turn on a single light, go to the garage, see which light correlates to the switch, then remove a different light bulb, then go back to the switches, and turning off the first, while turning on another. Then take a glance at your power meter to see how much electricity is being used, then turn on the last one, and if the meter goes up, the last one controls the last light bulb that is plugged in, while if it stays the same, the last switch is the for the light you took out. I doubt that's the answer, though.

From the switch room to the garage, that is as far as you need to go, but you can only go once. You will not be tearing out walls to follow wires either. Its alot more simple that you might think, and I didn't get it at first cause I thought there was some sort of trick answer or something, but there wasn't

(spoilered incase anyone else still wants to figure it out)
Turn one switch on, wait 5 minutes
turn second switch on, go immediately to garage
feel the bulbs. the one that is on and hot goes to the first switch you turned on. The one that is on but cool goes to the second switch you turn on. The one that is off goes to the switch you did not touch.

It actually didnt take me very long to figure out (only about 5-10 minutes, if that); BNM just happened to stumble into my area of expertise. I have an engineer's mind, all of the abstract questions in this thread so far have left me absolutely clueless, but I excel in concrete questions where I am given a problem with certain rules, and I have to find a solution.
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 22, 2007, 04:30:25 AM
btw, my guess at your riddle is:
when its a bakers dozen?
Post by: Requiem on June 22, 2007, 05:43:32 AM
I think you should revise yours. For instance, you turn on a bulb for 5 minutes then turn it off, then flick another switch and head into the garage. It's alot easier to tell which is hot and which is cool when they are both off.
Light bulbs heat up quick.
P.S. I agree with BnM
Post by: Zach on June 22, 2007, 07:06:21 AM
Anyway, not a bakers dozen. My teacher gave us this riddle in high school and it left us absolutely stumped, I'll give a hint later today. Apparantly, Kindergarden age children are more likely to answer this riddle correctly.

Keyhole, when you pull the key out of the hole it gets longer and when you jerk the key, you pop the lock. Many women wore keys on a necklace that went between their breasts or kept them there for safe keeping.

It fits between breasts, would fit into any hole, will get longer when you break the chain, but in order to do that, you need to jerk it off the person's neck.
Or perhaps a life vest? Those inflate when you jerk the valves on them and they technically fit between breasts.

I'm sure he's talking about the ones that come across the chest and not the lap belts you would find in an older car.
But shouldn't the riddle have said that "it fits perfectly into a slot" and not a hole, cause its definately more of a slot than a hole.

Just because part of the seat belt disappears into a slot in the wall doesn't mean it isn't still the same length.

Let's say you've got a vending machine that sells either Coke or Pepsi. There are three buttons on the machine. Pressing one will get you a Coke, another will get you a Pepsi, and another will give you one of the two at random, just for fun. One day some joker rearranges the labels on the buttons so they're all wrong. You don't really remember which is which, you're too lazy to open up the machine and tinker with it, and you're thirsty anyway. How many drinks do you have to buy to figure out how to rearrange the labels?

Just one. Ok, so they're ALL wrong. So, I only need to buy 1. If I hit the pepsi button and get a pepsi, then that makes it the random button. I know the coke button is wrong, so I put the random one there. The one that was random, then becomes the coke.

Making the assumption all of the buttons are incorrect, the answer to this question is just one.
Press the button labeled random because we know that it cannot actually be random, and whatever it gives you is what that that button actually is.
If it gives you a pepsi, the button labeled pepsi must be coke, and the button labeled coke must be random.
If the random button gives you a coke, the button labeled coke must be pepsi and the button labeled pepsi must be Random.
its the only way everything will fit.
Edit: Almost thought I was beat out by TVman, he's got the right idea, he just hit the wrong button first. In his scenario he hit the pepsi button and got a pepsi. But what if you hit the pepsi button and get a coke?

Pressing one will get you a Coke, another will get you a Pepsi, and another will give you one of the two at random, just for fun. One day some joker rearranges the labels on the buttons so they're all wrong. You don't really remember which is which, you're too lazy to open up the machine and tinker with it, and you're thirsty anyway. How many drinks do you have to buy to figure out how to rearrange the labels?
1, hit pepsi button, if it's a pepsi drink it. if it's a coke smash the machine and drink what come out. All you really care about is your're thirsty. And If you're too lazy to open it than you would be too lazy to rearrenge the lables.

However I used the word "they" in the prize which requires that the banner and the bannee both agree to the act of being banned. Awww... *Let's Make a Deal Goat prize sound*
