You are standing in front of three light switches at the
bottom of a set of stairs which leads to your attic.
Each light switch corresponds to one of three lights
located in the attic, but you cannot see the lights from
where you stand.
You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in
any position.
How can you identify which switch corresponds to which
light bulb if you are only allowed one trip upstairs?
