There are three switches downstairs. Each corresponds to one of the three light bulbs in the attic. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position.
How would you identify which switch corresponds to which light bulb, if you are only allowed one trip upstairs?

turn one on and leave it on for a while. turn it off and then turn another one on.
The one that is on is attached to the switch in the on position.
The bulb that is warm goes to the first switch you turn on
The bulb that is cold leads to the switch that has not been touched

I'm a mathie so here's what you get......
A swimming pool has four faucets. The first can fill the entire pool with water in two days, the second – in three days, the third – in four days, and the last one can fill the pool in 6 hours. How long will it take to fill the pool using all 4 faucets together?

Faucet 1 = V/48 ; 2=V/72; 3=V/96; 4=V/6. V=RT so the V cancels out. the equation takes too much work but you end up with T= (1/48 +1/72 + 1/96 + 1/6)^-1 to get 4.721311 hours. The rest is easy.

Here is an oldie but goodie. I cant count how many drinks I have won with this one.
A worker is to perform work for you for seven straight days. In return for his work, you will pay him 1/7th of a bar of gold per day. The worker requires a daily payment of 1/7th of the bar of gold. What and where are the fewest number of cuts to the bar of gold that will allow you to pay him 1/7th each day?
