A man lives in a house on 2 levels, upstairs are 3 light bulbs, which connect to 3 light switches downstairs.
He does not know which light switch turns on which light bulb and he is only allowed to go up the stairs once to find out. How does he do it?
1. leave switch One OFF
2. turn switch Two ON for about a minute then turn OFF
3. turn switch Three ON for a few minutes then turn OFF
walk up stairs and feel which bulbs is cold, warm or hot!
cold = switch One
warm = switch Two
hot = switch Three

Phew... That took a bit of thinking, it's gotta be the bronze chest. Now give me back the brain cells that died trying to find the answer!

Easy ones. Solve the two riddles. The answers should be anagrams of each other.
(Thing 1)
You use me when you want to cook
For friends or family.
But, whether written down or not,
It's best you stick to me.
(Thing 2)
I like to think that I'm a skill,
Not just some old technique.
People do me to their ears,
Or nose, or tongue, or cheek.

You approach two talking doors. One door leads to the City of Truth, while the other door leads to the City of Liars. You do not know which door is which. You are able to ask only one question to determine which door is which. The door that leads to the City of Liars always speaks lies, while the door that leads to the City of Truth always speaks the truth. You want to go to the City of Truth. What question do you ask to determine which door leads to the City of Truth

A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison."
After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?
