There is a light bulb in a room. 100 yards away are 3 switches. One of those switches controls that light bulb. You can only go to the light switches and back to the light bulb once. How do you figure which light switch controls the light bulb?

you switch one on and leave it on. The second one you switch on, then turn it off after a while. You leave the last switch alone. You then go over to the light bulb. If its on, its the first switch. If its off, but hot to touch, its the second switch. If its off, its the third one.

I guess I would have to cheat and just turn all 3 switches on!
