A boy wants to sleep. His bed is located 10 feet from a light switch. He sleeps in a bunk bed 8 feet over the floor. He turns off the light switch. He doesn't use any contraptions ( wires, poles, clapper, etc.). Yet, he gets in bed while the room is still lighted. How is this possible?

He doesn't use the switch... he unscrews the bulb from the fixture, (that he can reach 8 feet up on the buck bed).

misterwhite's answer is actually the correct one.

The riddle states that the switch is turned off, and the boy gets in bed while the room is still lighted. So if he turned off the switch, the room would be dark if it is dark outside when he gets in bed. This is true even if he can unscrew the bulb from his bed.

Thanks...

Sometimes we need a bit a levity to lighten things up.

My 11 year old daughter stated he had a streetlight outside his window. I guess that could be interpreted as also correct.
