For all those overactive minds....

February 08 2010

Gotcha with the tag line...but here's something to test your lateral thinking out...consider it the start of a weekly test, assuming it is popular.   Ok, you're in a room with three light switches. In the adjoining room, there are three lights. Each light switch controls one light, and you cannot see into the next room.   You are allowed to flick the light switches on, or off, as many times as you like, but as soon as you walk into the room with the lights you must be able to tell which switch controls each light. You cannot go back into the first room after walking into the light room....   Stalky, I expect you to struggle, as most of your interaction from what I can tell is with the lights off, so you are forgiven...but you can select the prize for the first correct answer...perhaps a spot on the coveted caravan trip ;)   Cheers and good luck!   Michael

    Ok - self-confessed nerd.  Were these lights bought before or after the ban on incandescent light bulbs, forcing us to live with very un-flattering fluoros?    If they are incandescent - I would say you could tell which is which by the temperature of them...   If they are fluoros, I would hook into the wiring and hook switch one up to Stalky's left nipple, one to the right nipple and (although it's not necessary) one to his sphincter.   Then I'd just sit in the other room flicking the switches on and off.  Not sure why.  I just would.

    Personally Mike, in my house, I use Clipsal C-bus and can re-program all switches on my computer so that they do whatever the hell it is I want with them. I don't even have to go into the room..... I can even make a phone call and turn the lights on, boil the jug for when I get home and turn off the alarm while on our road trip... but ok.. I'm strange like that and I like gadgets.. especially gadgets that wiggle and squirt... but that's another topic entirely.   I'd be happy to judge your contest Bro!   Hugs Stalky

    Ok 3 three options.... so there's a 33.3% chance of getting each one right.... right, stay with me on this...If I were to flick one light switch on for a long period of time and leave it on....If i were to flick the second light switch on ... leave the third off and walk straight in...The light off would be switch number three... now for switch one and two...   I now have two options left as i have elimated one i now have a 66.6% chance and 33.3% chance of the last two getting each right... to help in this scenario if I have entered the room as soon as I had switched on light two i have a 66.6% chance that the hottest of the two lights left is light swtich number one!:-D how'd I go??

    He he ....   I've given your puzzle two minutes thought time and all I keep coming up with is:   Why does it matter ?  I fuck with the lights on or off ! I fuck by candelight. I fuck by kerosene lamp. I fuck by the stars.   I try not to think too much... I find it scares most of the guys away   I prefer just to fuck.   Cheers, Miss Saturn

    As the duly appointed judge, despite Michael's rush to announce a winner, I believe Earl has a valid point. These light fittings could be using the new, low heat emmission LED lamps, in which case the soultions tendered so far would surely fail.   Kind regards   Stalkyboy light bulb consultant extraordinaire. N.B. The Judge's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

    Earl, It works with compact fluorescent lighting as well, and also with the halogen incadescent replacements, fluoros still get hot, just not as hot. Oceanblue- you were so close, maybe you can drive in the caravan support group, I like the fact you only take chances above 50%, reminds me a bit if my love life missbowpeek- that's a bit like using toys instead of men to get off with, you'll probably get the answer I'd you're lucky, but there's no extra variables to make it real...I do like your thinking though, "I DIDNT GO IN THE ROOM", really, that's like saying I came during the foreplay but went nowhere near the sex after.;) Miss-Saturn- we've had some beautiful nights recently in Perth, and the stars look sensational from the park I call my front yard... Don't believe me, I guess you'll just have to come here and find out;) Taipan- funny that, I've been asked a few times if anyone's home, but you've just brought up flashbacks from year 10 social studies...those were the days Earl- C4 doesn't solve everything... Just most things Trish- I thought stuff that glows in the dark contained radioactive particles... But hey, it worked for the ninja turtles, so guys that want a little more, maybe trish is onto something here ;) Cheers, Michael
