There are 3 switches, but only one of them turns on a light upstairs. You can only go upstairs once, and you cannot go back downstairs once you do so. How do you know for CERTAIN which switch is the one that turns on the light?



I will give 10 points (by choosing the best answer... right?) to whoever can answer the most of these correctly in one week.
jetBlue -- You have most of them correct. ^_^ I wonder if you'll get the 10 points?
And yeah, I would be stumped too if I hadn't heaard them before.
Tony and Ashley are about tied in correct answers... Who should I give the points to?! D:
