if u answer them all correctly youll get 10 points.
1. You are facing three switches downstairs, one of which controls a lightbulb in a room upstairs whose doors are closed (no light escapes from it). Find the correct switch without ever going down the stairs.
2. If you have me you want to share me. If you share me you won't have me. What am I?
3. A man was just about to put his key in the door when he heard his wife scream "No Charlie, don't do it!" The man walked in his house to find his wife dead on the floor next to a doctor, a lawyer and a police officer. None of them had name tags and the man did not know who any of them were. The only thing the man knew is that the police officer did it. How did he know?

1. Assuming the other two switches control downstairs lights (radios, whatever) or upstairs lights (ceiling fans, whatever)that can be seen from downstairs you switch on and off each one. Whichever one you can see no light from is your upstairs, closed door, switch.
Assuming you can see the light (or electrical output of some sort, such as toaster) from at least one switch you turn on and off each in sequence to discern which can be identified while downstairs. You leave that one and another switched on, go upstairs into the room and see if the light is on or not. If it is on than the second light switch that is on is the one for this room (as we already know what the first is for). If the light is off then the switch that is off is the correct switch.
2. A secret.
3. Charlie is a nickname used by both men and women. The gender of the lawyer, doctor, and police officer are useless. The wife was shot and the only one with a gun was the officer.

1. put on all the switches on by one and see which one does not switch on the light downstairs, that is the switch for the light upstairs
2. A secret!
3. His wife yelled "No Charlie". The doctor and lawyer were both women, so the police officer had to be Charlie.

1. turn any switch on then wait for a few minutes... next turn it off and turn another switch on... go up then you'll find out...if it is turned on, it's controlled by the switch you just turned on, if it is not and it is hot, then it is controlled by the first switch you turned on, if it is turned off and cold, it has not been lighted yet so it's controlled by the last switch you didnt turn on...
2. a secret
3. the other two were women
