There are three switches downstairs. Each corresponds to one of the three light bulbs in the attic. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position.
How would you identify which switch corresponds to which light bulb, if you are only allowed one trip upstairs?

That's easy :
"Honey!!!!!! Come here and flip these switches while I go up in the attic to figger out which one's which"
or
Leave the attic door open and you can tell which light comes on by the angle of the shadows created by the door frame.
or
Walk carefully going up the stairs and you can figger it out without any trips at all.
or
screw in an adapter to each light so you can plug in three radios tuned to three different stations. Go down, flip each switch and listen for station identification.

That was a good one. It actually stumped me. I should have gotten it if I had really thought about it. But I had to look up the answer. I learned a new one today. Thanks.

We are assuming regular incandesent (the kind Al Gore hates) bulbs here.
We used to play a bar game that always involved a dead body (in the game, not really a dead guy in the bar) and "how did he die". You were allowed to ask only yes or no questions. Example:
A man lies dead inside a locked room (locked from the inside.) Next to his body is a puddle of water. How did he die?
