    Light one switch, wait one hour, then flip another and wait 10 minutes. Go to the light bulb room. Touch each of the light bulbs - the one that is the hottest was switched on by the first switch you flipped, and the one that is less hot was switched on by the second switch you flipped.

    The cold one that never heated up in the first place will be switched on by the one you didn't touch.

    I just came up with this, I don't know if it's supposed to be solved this way, but I like to find unusual ways to solve questions.

    Suppose that you are standing in a hallway next to 3 light switches, which are all off. There is another room down the hallway, where there

    No man has seen it but all men know it. Lighter than air, sharper than any sword. Comes from nothing but would fell the strongest armies. Of what do I speak?

  • I mean... You can just transfer the water to the other bath tub using the bucket/cup, but I'm assuming there's something you didn't mention, because this is too easy.

    Yeah, I think "da" and "ja" means the same to all gods.

    @MetallicaRules Here's a much harder version of the Einstein riddle, it took me about 2 days to solve:

    Eight married couples meet to lend one another some books. Couples have the same surname, employment and car. Each couple has a favorite color. Furthermore, we know the following facts:

    • Daniella Black and her husband work as Shop-Assistants.

    • The book "The Seadog" was brought by a couple who drive a Fiat and love the color red.

    • Owen and his wife Victoria like the color brown.

    • Stan Horricks and his wife Hannah like the color white.

    • Jenny Smith and her husband work as Warehouse Managers and they drive a Wartburg.

    • Monica and her husband Alexander borrowed the book "Grandfather Joseph".

    • Mathew and his wife like the color pink and brought the book "Mulatka Gabriela".

    • Irene and her husband Oto work as Accountants.

    • The book "We Were Five" was borrowed by a couple driving a Trabant.

    • The Cermaks are both Ticket-Collectors who brought the book "Shed Stoat".

    • Mr and Mrs Kuril are both Doctors who borrowed the book "Slovacko Judge".

    • Paul and his wife like the color green.

    • Veronica Dvorak and her husband like the color blue.

    • Rick and his wife brought the book "Slovacko Judge" and they drive a Ziguli.

    • One couple brought the book "Dame Commissar" and borrowed the book "Mulatka Gabriela".

    • The couple who drive a Dacia, love the color violet.

    • The couple who work as Teachers borrowed the book "Dame Commissar".

    • The couple who work as Agriculturalists drive a Moskvic.

    • Pamela and her husband drive a Renault and brought the book "Grandfather Joseph".

    • Pamela and her husband borrowed the book that Mr and Mrs Zajac brought.

    • Robert and his wife like the color yellow and borrowed the book "The Modern Comedy".

    • Mr and Mrs Swain work as Shoppers.

    • "The Modern Comedy" was brought by a couple driving a Skoda.

    Is it a problem to find out everything about everyone from this information?

  • Manopause?

    Lol, the menopause is a good guess, especially if it's "but all men know it". But, alas, no.

    More serious guess, the plague or something.

    Yeah, almost. You're on a right track.

  • Here's a hint: it could be that some god gets asked more than one question (and hence that some god is not asked any question at all).

  • Yes, hunger was the weapon used against the wicked men of the Tevinter Imperium. The Maker kindled the sun's flame, scorching the land. Their crops failed, and their armies could not march. Then He opened the heavens and bade the waters flow, and washed away their filth.

    I'm Cathaire, Disciple of Andraste and commander of her armies! I saw these things done and I knew that the Maker smiled on us!

    Hunger?

  • This is the answer.

    I have arms, tails, heads, and legs but am not a living thing. (This will be ESPECIALLY hard for those who have never been to Australia).

  • Two coins add up to 30 cents and once isn't a nickel.

  • Sounds about right.

    This is the answer. Once upon a time, If you answered this question wrong you were deemed insane.

  • I've heard this one XD it got me the first time.

    It's a quarter and a nickel since only ONE is not a nickel.
