Flip two of the switches and leave them on for a while. Then flip one of them off and quickly go to each room. The lit bulb goes to the switch that is still on. The dark bulb that is still warm from being turned on goes to the switch you just turned off. The dark cold bulb goes to the switch you didn't flip.

1. You switch on the first switch and wait for 5 minutes
2. Now switch off the first switch and switch on the 2nd(middle) one and immediately go to the room where the bulbs are.
3. The bulb glowing belongs to 2nd switch and the bulb which is little warm belongs to the first switch which was glowing for 5 minutes and the bulb which is cold belongs to the 3rd switch which was never switched on.

If you turn on the switch and look in the first two rooms, you will either find the right room or it will have to be the last room, which was unchecked.
(Room A and B checked)
NOw that you know which room is connected to switch one, you click on switch two. If you check room C, and it is dark, then you know that the switch is connected to Room B.
That leaves switch 3 for Room C.

you turn on the first switche and wait 5 minutes and then turn the switch off and turn on the 2nd one then go to see the lamps and :1_if the light was turning on so the answer is the 2nd switch it is the switch who is belongs to the lamp.
2_if it was off touch the lamp if it was hot that means the 1st one who it does belong to.
3_if it was off touch it if it was cold that means the 3rd is the answer.

Hey, where'd you get this question? I was flipping through this riddle book last year and I remember seeing this one. Funny coincidence. I would put the answer, but I can see that I've been beat to it.

if you can only look inside each room once then tell someone else to look for you.

leave the doors open and look down the hall to see which ones on.
