i'll just go ahead and give the answer.. for ease of explanation, let's label the switches 1, 2, & 3:
- set switch 1 & 2 to the 'ON' position
- wait a minute or two
- turn off switch 2 and enter the room
- the light that is on is controlled by switch 1... the light that is off and warm is switch 2... the light that is off and cold is switch 3
Very nice ... and useful too!

I had the answer to the light bulb question but i've been out the last few days and missed my chance to answer!
A man is found in a remote mountian shack, hung from a 8 ft beam. The shack is empty of all furniture and there is a puddle beanth the dead man.
How did he kill himself?

How did he kill himself?
It was wintertime.
He had a good fire lit in the shack.
He brought in a block of ice [or compacted snow] from outside.
He stood on the block and attached the noose to the high beam and put it around his neck.
He stepped off the block and hanged himself.
The ice/snow melted in the warmth of the room.
Had you turned up a little later then all of the water would have melted and there would have been no immediate explanation...
Had it been the summertime he couldn't have done it... -
Like the crime murder with an iced cone!
Nobody find the Sheep enigma?

Nope. Could you re-phrase it? I'm not sure to understand it.

No need, it's the exact sentence problem!
You will be agree with me when solution will be found -
A funny
Today sheep start from farm 6 O'clock morning to the high mountain pasture
There is only one way!
Tomorrow sheep start from high mountain pasture 6 O'clock morning to the farmQuestion : Tomorrow does sheep will be at the same hour and at the same place on the way than today?

at first, i thought it involved 3 consecutive days.. today, tomorrow, and the following day.. if i read it exactly, it only involves today and tomorrow.. in that case, i answer no -- they won't be at the same place at the same time tomorrow because at 6am today, they are at the farm.. at 6am tomorrow, they're on top of the hill..
i can also assume you're asking if they will cross a certain point at a certain time in both directions.. as in - will they cross the midpoint at say 7am regardless of which direction they're heading..
combined with the first thing you wrote "A funny", i'm not quite sure if this is a joke or an actual logic question..
so yeah, i'm pretty confused here -
You must read "literally" word to word
And funny = so simple (not a joke)
Suspense
Tell me when you want the solution -

Ok mind torture is finished you have quasi find
I don't said the same day
You can also take your index fingers left and right and move it on the way from farm to mountain, when they cross it they will be at the same place and at the same hour
