I don't know what you are up to. But there are many things I can do to solve real life problems. One of them could be something like this:

Turn on key#1 for 5 minutes, then turn off. Turn on key#2 and go to the second room.

Key#2 is for the lamp being "on".

Key#1 is for the hot lamp being "off".

Key#3 is for the cool lamp being "off".

Not at all. I'm an engineer. I work with electronics as a hobby. When you troubleshoot or fix electronics stuffs you need to have a much higher level of creativity.

The word you're looking for is "switch", not "key". It confused me for a second...

The point is that you can go in the first room (the one with the switches) as many times as you want. So you turn on a switch, wait for a while (lightbulbs warm up when used), then switch the first one back off and switch another one on. Before the first one has the time to cool, you now have three different lightbulbs: a lit one, a warm unlit one, and a cool unlit one.

now azukikuru has explained that the "key" is not a key but a switch I do understand, but on a side note why would you have 3 lamps in one room and the switches in another?

I start by taking the blindfold off....

Can't you just take the top 20 cards off and place the stack upside down next to the original pile? Pretty sure this works.

You're blindfolded. I have a deck of cards. 20 cards are face up, the rest face down. Now I shuffle the cards and hand you the deck. Your task is to arrange the cards in two piles with the same amount of cards turned face up. How do you go about this?


 

Assuming you maintained orientation of cards in the shuffle and that the shuffle was a perfect riffle shuffle go through the deck alternating the pile you place the card in.

TheGrobe's solution assumes you flipped the second pile back into the face down orientation before shuffling ... it works for that assumption.

If your shuffle was not perfect and orientation is maintained it may be possible with a sufficiently old deck to determine whether a card is face up or face down by feel, since the cards tend to be (consistently) slightly concave or convex (depending on handling).

To bad math. The restaurant has 20, the men have 6 and the waiter 4.

1st weighing: ( if the fake is lighter )

7-6

then the lighter of the 2 is broken up and you weigh again

3-3 if 6 is lighter: 4-3 if 7 is lighter

finally the lighter of the 2 is tested again:

2-1 for 3; 2-2 for 4

You have to cross a bridge. It takes three minutes to cross the bridge (this is running as fast as you can, you can't go any faster than three minutes). At the mid point of the bridge, there is a hut, and a guard lives in the hut. There are no windows in the hut, so you can't see the guard, and he can't see you.

Every two minutes, the guard comes out of the hut, and is able to catch anyone who is anywhere on the bridge at that point in time. He will grab them, and throw them back to the side they were coming from.

The only piece of equipment you have is a watch, or other time-keeping device. How do you cross the bridge successfully?

You are MacGyver.

you set off running just as he goes back in his hut, after two minutes he comes out and catches you on the other side of the bridge. Then he throws you across to that side of the bridge. The opposite side you started.
