There are 3 lights in the room, and 3 switches outside the room, you can not stand in the room and reach the light switches, nor can you leave the door open to watch the lights. You are only allowed to enter the room once, and you need to find out which switch is for which light, they are not labelled, and all switches and lights are the same, you are alone. There is a simple answer, 10 points for the first to get it.

You need to know what all three switches are for which lights.

Turn light switch 1 on and leave it there for 10 minutes. Then turn it off and turn switch 2 on. Go into the room. The light that is on is switch 2, the light that is off and warm is switch 1, and the light that's cold and off is switch 3.

Flip a switch, open the door and look at the lights. JUST DON'T GO IN!! Continue to do the same. Just don't walk in the room.

But what if the lights generate no heat? Then there is no answer. Try one with 4 lights and you are allowed to enter the room twice.
That one is pretty easy.

3 lights, 3 switches.... it doesn't matter which switch you hit, it should turn on one of the lights. Who cares which one?

check for the heat each bulb generates.
leave one on for a long time, one for less time and leave one off,
the switch on the longest will have the hottest bulb.
the one that was left off the coldest.

It would have been nice in your setup if you had told us that the lights were normal light bulbs. If they were flourescent lights then the heat thing may not work

lights are the same so it doesn't mattter which one you hit,. since all are the same the lights are all lit up by electricity. so you could hit all the three and light up all three of the swicthes. simple.
