I'm sure I'm missing something. But this is my initial guess... yup, you are. read it again real closely. oh right.. the labels! there are already incorrect labels on teh containers!!! you can tell after you pull one marble from each since only 3 containers, that means three labels. if ALL THREE are labelled wrong, you can instantly tell what the right labels are if you know even ONE. |

here is good one my mother told me this one, this one is a question that is found on university science program entrance tests alot of the time There are two rooms. One has three lights and the other has three switches. Bob starts out in the room with the switches. He is alone. He can not see the room with the lights. Once he leaves the the switches room, the door closes and locks. How does Bob figure out which light goes to which switch? he switched one lightbulb on for a minute or two, then closes it. he then switches another one. He goes to the other room. the one that is on obviously goes with the bulb that's on. he then touches the other two bulbs. the ones that's hot goes with the switch he turned on then off. and the ones that off. well.. it goes ith the other one |

 Coolness: 85725 | does he really have to leave the room to be able to tell what light is on in the next room? can't he just open the door a bit? |

Of course they heat up. Just not as much. The most efficient light bulbs still only produce light with (about) 10% of the energy put into them. The remaining 90% is heat. |

| Coolness: 340385 | they don't get hot after 1 minute use...... |

| Coolness: 149535 | itll still be warmer than the one that was never switched on
either way, he makes no reference to the type of bulb . so i can assume a "light bulb" refers to a regular incandescant light bulb |

hmmmm.... let me think now... a hard one you have bags, any number of bags, n with, lets say, an infinite number of pills in them (for the sake of the riddle... i know its impossible) regular pills weigh x, and contaminated pills weigh 2x there is an unknown number of contaminated bags, m with one weighing on a scale, how can you tell which bags are contaminated. |

| Coolness: 145920 | here is a good one
In a country there live 'knights' and 'knaves.' The 'knaves' always lie and the 'knights' always tell the truth - unless they make a mistake. 1995 knights and knaves are sitting around a table. Each says that he is sitting between a knight and a knave, but two knights are mistaken. How many knaves are seated at the table? |

| Coolness: 145920 | new one
To move their armies, the Romans built over 50,000 miles of roads. Imagine driving all those miles! Now imagine driving those miles in the first gasoline-driven car that has only three wheels and could reach a top speed of about 10 miles per hour. For safety's sake, let's bring along a spare tire. As you drive the 50,000 miles, you rotate the spare with the other tires so that all four tires get the same amount of wear. Can you figure out how many miles of wear each tire accumulates? |
