a man buys a house and the wiring is all messed up

upstairs are 3 rooms and the switches for the lights upstairs are down stairs

he can only go up stairs 1 time how can he figure out what switch is for what light

with out ripping wires out of walls ect

Get a piece of paper and write down what does what. Besides, if you can only use the stairs once, the house is unsafe so going up and you'll forget what's down.

What was discovered first, Banana or Apple?

Who has some good riddles or jokes? Here is a riddle.

You are stuck in an all cement room with no windows or doors. All you have is a mirror and a table. How do you get out?


You look in the mirror and see what you saw. Use the saw to cut the table in half. Two halves make a hole. Crawl out the hole.

easy one

It is greater than God and more evil than the devil. The poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you'll die. What is it?

[John Brik'sil]

Even easier. It's the same as this:

'What does man love more than life/Fear more than death and mortal strife
What the poor have, the rich require/And what contented men desire
Whit misers spend, and spendthrifts save/And all men carry to the grave.'

It's nothing.

You move into a new house that (for some reason) has three lights upstairs and the only switches for them are downstairs. None of the switches are labeled, and neither the builders nor the electricians gave you any hint as to which switch controlled which light. Their reasoning was that you need to figure something out about the operation of the house before you can fully enjoy living in it, and that no one has ever been able to figure out the situation in any of the houses they built in the last five years (ever since they started doing this in the houses). You don't want to keep running up and down the stairs to check to see which light is on when you flip a switch. The riddle is, 'How do you tell which switch is for which light if you only want to go up the stairs once while running this test?' You can leave the lights on as long as you want, and have as many on as you want. The house is perfectly safe, and you could always just turn on one at a time and see which light is on, but you want the satisfaction on knowing that you were able to solve a problem that no one else has been able to solve--you decide to solve this problem purely for the honor and bragging rights.

go outside and look at the windows

what famous room has multiple doors that lead to multiple rooms but only has one wall?

[Bree Fletcher]

what famous room has multiple doors that lead to multiple rooms but only has one wall?

Random stab: The oval office? The way it's curved, I don't think you can find a point where any wall ends and another begins, only conclusion is that it has one wall.

your random stab was right on target

[Mopster]

No.
Explaination: For a sound to be made. Sound WAVES (not the sound just the moving particles themselves) need to hit something to turn them into audible sound. Example an eardrum. Without an eardrum or something to pick up the sound, all that is created is moving particles.

If there was a sound recorder there then you would of heard the sound on that ever though your not there.
