allo, i have 3 questions(not maths, but kinda logic):

1. An airplane(flying in mid-air) ran out of fuel, what falls first?

2. 3 lizards on a ceiling, 2 are fighting, 1 is watching them fighting. In the end all 3 lizards falls down from the ceiling. Why the 3rd lizard who watching the other 2 lizards fighting falls too?(no the 2 lizards who fought dosen’t touch the 3rd lizards who is watching)

3. A room with two stories, upstairs and downstairs. 3 lights at upstairs and 3 switches at downstairs. How do you know which switch is for which light as you only allowed to go upstairs once and come back down once?

happy guessing!!  
p.s. will post more soon if you guys still want more!

you could also switch 2 on, then switch one off and go up immediately - 1 lamp will be on, and 1 lamp will be warmer than the other. this saves time 😛

[size=1]or also switch 1 on, then switch it off and switch on another and go up, you’ll get the same results :huh:[/size]
