You have three switches in one room and a single light bulb in another room. You are allowed to visit the room with the light bulb only once. How do you figure out which switch controls the bulb? Write your answer in the comments before looking at other answers.

If this were an interview question, the correct response would be "Do you have any relevant questions for me? Because have a long list of things that more deserving of my precious time than to think about this!
I don't understand. You don't need to visit a room to know whether the light is on in it.
This is the real answer. If there is a light switch that turns on a light in a room, rarely ever would you not see the results of switching it on from where the switch itself is located. Visiting the room is a red herring.
