You have three switches in one room and a single light bulb in another room. You are allowed to visit the room with the light bulb only once. How do you figure out which switch controls the bulb? Write your answer in the comments before looking at other answers.

If this were an interview question, the correct response would be "Do you have any relevant questions for me? Because have a long list of things that more deserving of my precious time than to think about this!
You’re assuming they don’t control something in the room with the light, or they could control the lights in your room and the light you’re trying to check .
Ah yes.
The infamous “they” who control everything.
But what “they” who control “they”, who are really in control of the lights in your room and the lights you’re trying to check?
What if there’s an infinite amount of “theys” all the way down that by mathematical logic leads to myself?
What if the interview being held and the question being asked wasn’t meant to test me, but to test you?
What then?
