Answer to Switch Riddle:

On the first switch for about 10mins, and then switch off the first one and switch on the second switch; and then enter the room.

Three cases are possible

1. Bulb is on => 2nd switch is the answer.

2. Bulb is off and on touching the bulb, you will find bulb to be warm => 1st switch is the answer.

3. Bulb is off and on touching the bulb, you will find bulb to be normal(not warm) => 3rd bulb is the answer.
