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? Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest #1.

To: no gnu taxes (#0) 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.

Perhaps that may be too subtle. I'm alluding to the report of some news station showing a video of what an AR-15 could do to a watermelon, except the shooter was using a shotgun instead.

Liberator  posted on  2018-03-01   8:47:45 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #19. To: Liberator (#17) 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. no gnu taxes  posted on  2018-03-01   8:57:51 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #20.
