You are trapped in the middle of a huge snow storm and will die within the hour !
Question: Luckily, you see a big building that is warm and safe inside. It will save your life, but there is one catch. There are three light switches on the outside connected to three lightbulbs on the inside. Each switch turns exactly one of the light bulbs on and each switch is connected to a different light bulb, however you have no idea of the ordering.
Before you have walked into the room, you may turn on any combination of light switches. However, once you enter the room you may not leave it again and you must correctly discern which switch is connected to which light bulb.
How do you figure it out?
The building has no windows and no way to see the light bulbs in any way from the outside. Once you open the door to go inside there is no way for you to hit any of the switches again. And remember you are cold and you've got less than an hour left to figure it out!

I will first turn 2 switches on.....
wait for 'bout like minutes and turn one of the two on switches off.. and then go inside....
the bulb that has its light on belongs to the switch that you left in on...
touch the two other bulbs.. the warmer bulb belongs to the switch that you turned off..
the other bulb(the cooler and no light), obviously belongs to the switch that you didn't touch.....
turn on two of the switches
uhh.....
Just turn them all on
open the door, leave it open, and check each on to see what it turns on
vua-la
do not turn any on
that wasnt a very funny joke
it doesnt matter wether u switch watever switch to see which is which once ur in u cant get out so just flip them all and take a chance and step in and live in that solitary building
Ok Turn the First one On For About A Minute.
Then Flip on the second one and go in.
if the light is on, then it is the second switch.
If the lightbulb is hot, its the first switch.
If it is cold it is the third switch
All three are going to be switched on lol
