On the first floor of a house there are 3 light switches...one of them works the light in the attic (3rd floor, and totally un viewable from the first floor light switches). Say you can only go up the stairs once...how do you know which light switch is the one for the attic? (Yes I know whomever designed the house was an idiot.)

switch the 2nd one
go upstairs
the one the is lighted has the second switch
the one that is hot and not lighted has the 1st switch
the one that is cold and is not lighted has the 3rd switch

Very simple! You turn on all three light switches and go up the stairs! One of them has to be the correct switch!

you turn on two out of the three switches, wait 15 min, then turn one of them off, then go up stairs, you'll see that one light is on, and two are off, feel for which one of two "off" lightbulbs is warm, and that will be the one you just turned off
