    if there is not light and the lamp is warm it is the first switch
    if there is not light and the lamp is cold it is the third switch

    Akribos, megale!

    That's the right answer. You're the winner.

    Che: I know you've explained your sig before, but I'd
    like a clarification. It looks to me like it says
    something like "Once is good, but two times
    is better." Am I right?
    I ask you this in all seriousness, because
    I always like to tell my lovers, "The first one
    is for me; the second one's for you."
    Are we thinking alike, here?

    ps. Don't ask me when the last time was.

    A man lives alone for three weeks then finally runs out of food so he decides to go shopping.On his way out he turns off the tv and the lights.When he gets back he finds he is responsible for 150 deaths.How is he responsible??
    He was living in a light house. When all the lights went out a ship ran aground.

    As a public service with only the reading enjoyment
    of my visitors in mind (ah-hem), I have posted
    a Tolkien story on my website:

    Now when somebody gives you a little brainteaser
    ripped from Bored of (oops, I mean) LORD of the
    Rings, you can run over to my place, get the answer,
    come back here and post the solution before
    anyone realizes you were here in the first place.

    well done mixomatt ..... you are spot on.


    ok try this one......

    A man lives in a block of flats and he hates the stairs so when he goes out he takes the lift down and when he comes back he takes the lift to the fourth floor then gets out and walks up 10 flights of stairs to his flat. Why doesn't he take the lift??

    I'd seen that one before. This one is similar vintage, let's see how it goes.

    In the middle of a large forest is an irregulaly shaped area of ash and charred tree stumps. Within that area lies a dead body. The body is wearing full scuba gear. What has happened?

    He was scuba diving when helicopters came to pick up water to dump on the fire. He got dropped from the sky and died

    Yup! Looks like the little puzzles of that vintage are well passed their "use by" dates!
