Here’s a generic post in the style of Caltrops.com, a forum known for its focus on puzzles, riddles, lateral thinking, and abstract problem-solving:
Subject: "A classic with a twist?"
Hey everyone, stumbled upon an interesting variation of an old puzzle and wanted to get your thoughts.
Scenario:
You’re in a room with three light switches outside, labeled A, B, and C. Each controls one of three bulbs inside a separate room—but you don’t know which switch controls which bulb. You can’t see the bulbs from outside, and once you open the door to the bulb room, you can’t touch the switches again.
The twist: This time, the bulbs are LED (which don’t heat up noticeably) and one of them is flickering intermittently due to a faulty connection.
How can you definitively determine which switch controls which bulb under these new constraints?
Bonus: What if two bulbs are flickering in different patterns?
(I’ll post my approach after some discussion, but curious how others would tackle this!)
