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?

Analyzing the question, it's curious that he's in a bunk bed. That detail would likely be significant as most beds are not bunk beds. Bed is 10 feet from the switch, bunk bed is 8 feet above the floor -- a difference of 2 feet.

So I would say the switch is located on the ceiling 2 feet above the bunk bed, easily within arms reach.

You asked us to solve a riddle and you don't have the answer?

What a dud of a thread.

Who said I don't know the answer? Sometimes words can be used not so rigidly.

stick up the butt

someone who is ridged, and not flexible. Not fun, cannot see humor, and overall, unpleasant.

It's a stupid riddle. It isn't funny. It isn't even clever.

And you're a dumbass.

That's a pretty fair assessment.
