Puzzle exercises like this stimulate creative thinking! In order to devise a solution, the participants must use solution-oriented cooperation and communication in this exercise. Because the answer to the riddle isn’t obvious, they will need to think outside the box. 💡
#TeamBuildingGame #OutsideTheBox #Communication
Do you like this exercise? Let’s give these variations a try:
1. Ask the team if someone already knows this riddle. If so, give the people who know the riddle a new riddle that they can solve together in another room. For example, you could use the riddle in Team Exercise 81.
2. If you are working with a large group, you can split the group into smaller groups and make it a competition. You tell the story to all the groups at once and the first group that formulates the solution wins the game.
Can’t get enough of this exercise? In my new book you will find more variations. Plus 100 other team building exercises, including:
• Extensive explanations
• Multiple variations
• The outcome of each exercise
• And a QR code linked to the corresponding video

A must have for everyone working with groups.
Put on switch 1 for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes put of switch 1. Put on switch 2 and walk to the other room. If the lamp is on its switch 2. If its off, Feel if the lamp is warm. If its warm its switch 2. If its cold its switch 3.
Hein Raaijmakers Correct!
Hm? You mean if the light is still warm, then it is Switch 1 (not 2). Right?
@@talandis Yes, I think Hein Raaijmakers means that :)
@@Teamexercises ..... what if it's an led lamp... they dont give heat?
ashavari hahaha yes thats true, but it’s just a normal lamp :)
Simple...just open the door but dont walk in it...just try all the lights😁
Jb Sevillano haha, yes but you need to open the other door as well to see if the light is burning :)
@@Teamexercises then just think outside the box😁
I believe i heard this from the other channel
1.learn the rules
2.break the rules😂
@@loli-chan7146 Yes, those are great quotes :)
Walk to the other room, open the door, come back to the starting room, leaving the door of the other room open. Start trying out the switches. If the rooms are right next to each other you'll simply see the light turn on in the other room as you hit the swtiches.
Hi Nikolay, thank you for your answer. Unfortunately this is not correct. You can only walk to the other room once. And while in the other room you should be able to know which switch in the first room is connected to the lamp. Good luck!
could I also look under the door ? or through the key hole ?? :D
Kristian Gerboc no :)
From three switch one must belong to light of room itself where you are, so first identify which switch is connected with current room light. Now switch any one from remaining two switch and go to check if light glows or not in other room. if it glows it is from Switched which you on else it remaining one which is switch off now.
Hi Ravi, thank you for your answer. Hmm,.. very creative, but,.. unfortunately none of the three switches is connected to the lamp in the room you are standing in.
How about go into the other room and see what wire is connected to and switch the lights on easy🎉
You can only walk one time to the other room, so if you see which wire is connected you can't walk back anymore. So unfortunately this is not the right answer. Try again! :)
Stay in the room with the switches but open the door and leave it open, if you flick each switch on and off separately, chances are the other room is one across from you so you can see the light turn on therefore figuring out which switch controls the light.
I am now wondering why I felt the need to look up this video when clearly I am capable of thinking outside the box... I clearly misjudged myself by a lot here... (I came up with a possible answer on my own, on the spot, and I honestly thought I had forgotten how to do that ngl)
Thank you for your answer! :) That's a great out of the box solution. But,.. in this case you can't see if the light goes on or off in the other room before opening that door :)
The other two switches will be belonging to the current room which can be found out by using the same. so third switch can be identified...
sai kumar rao thank you for your answer. Unfortunately the switches don’t belong to the room in which you are standing.. :(
Just turn on the first switch and look under the door to see if the lights turned on and do the same for all the other ones
Thank you for your solution, but unfortunately you can't look under the door :)
The room seem to be right across from each other if the doors are regular door which is what I assume they are then they have cracks underneath the door if the other door can be left open then you can just see if light appears underneath the door as you switch on the lights one at a time
Hi Lapris, thank you for your creative solution. But unfortunately the door has no cracks 😃 So try again :)
I would leave both doors open and flip through the switchs
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately you can't walk back to the first room.
Open both doors and leave them open. Flipping any switch multiple times is allowed but walking one time to the other room is only allowed once. I’d use my one time walk to keep the door open to see the lamp as I’m flipping each switch. I’m probably not even close though.
Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately it is not correct. You can only walk once so the moment you walk up there to open the door you can't walk back to try out the switches..
We can only go once from our room to another so first step open the door and go to that room where the lamp is situated and keep that door open and now come back and try every switch u no need to go there to see whether the bulb glows or not u can easily see from ur room
Haha good one! Well, it is not the original answer, but.. it sounds like you found yourself a short cut 😊 And what do you think the answer is if you are only allowed to leave the room where you’re in just one time? (That’s what I ment ;) )
@@Teamexercises thx a lot i gave the answer as per your conditions given in video there can be many out of the box ways in which one can solve this but i got only that one hope u liked💖🙏
@@yalgaarpunjabi5916 Yes I did! 😊
Make a call to another person to check the lamp inside of other room, then he will test switch on A, B and C in order to know which switch is burning in that room. That person has to inform him back
Hi Senghoeung Pen, Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately there is no other person allowed.. :)
Keep flipping each switch multiple times and try to listen and hear if the light bulb burns out or makes kind of flickering noise but of course keep one door open so you can hear the bulb
Hi Sickel, thank you for your answer. Unfortunately it is not the correct answer. You can't hear the light bulb.. Let me know if you would like a hint :)
he can turn on the swich number 1 for some minutes after that turn it off after that turn the second swich for some minutes and go to the second room and see if the lamp was hot or not if its not hot its the third switch
Correct! :)
@@Teamexercises im so clever ther ar'nt any thing hard at meeee
@@Hi_guys_subscribe Hahaha, yes you are! :)
Did you try this one: czcams.com/video/15hiywkY-Lg/video.html
@@Teamexercises im not speak english god i mean idont live in canada or in u.s.a i live in palasten 🇵🇸 so im speak arabic and i want tell you ,you are abest channel in the youtube because you write some thing good for all and give all a heart
@@Hi_guys_subscribe Thank you! :) That's amazing to read!
can he look below the door after each chance
Nope :)
You said "you can only walk one time to the other room", so the man should walk to the other room and let the doors opened, then it may be possible to see when the light turn on
Paulo Lopes Hi Paulo, thanks for you answer. Unfortunately it’s not the right answer. If he walks to the other room and let the doors be open he can not walk back to put the switches on or off. So he is not absolutely sure.
@@Teamexercises Yeah but he can see which one is the right switch. Just keep the doors open.
@@ManofOneGod Thanks for your comment! Leaving the doors open doesn't change anything. If he walks to the other room and leaves the doors open it's not 100% the case that he will definitely know which switch is connected to the lamp. For example: He puts on switch A, walks to the other room and leaving the doors open and the lamp isn't on. He doesn't know if switch B or C is connected.
@@Teamexercises Then you should specify that it is not possible to see from room to room otherwise it is a perfectly logical solution.
@@ManofOneGod Hmm I don't know if I fully understand what you mean. The door of the room the man is in is closed (so of course he can't see the lightbulb from out of the room with switches) and he can only walk 1 time to the other room which has a closed door as well. So if he walks to the other room he isn't allowed to walk back again to change the switches. Can you specify what you mean? Maybe you are right, but I really want to understand :)
Turn on 1 switch for twice minutes
Off it and turn on the new one randomly
Get through the room
Conditions:
-If the bulb is lighten, the 2nd enable switch is right.
-If it's not lighten, touch the bulb. And If it's warm/hot, the fist enabled switch is right.
If it is neither condition 1 nor 2, the disable switch is not done anything is right.
Yes! :)
Easy - turn on two wait a while turn off one - then walk in
That is the correct first step :) And how do you know when you’re in the other room which is the right switch?
Once you've done the above and go to the other room, if the light is on, you know it's the switch you left on, if the light is off but warm, then you know its the switch you turned on and then off, if the light is cold, then you know its the third switch, i.e. the switch you didn't touch.
Correct! :) @@jonrebak1601
Open the door, then press the switches one at a time, when it lets up it’s the one
You can only walk once, so can’t walk back after opening the doors the put on switches. Try again :)
Leave the door open, check for there and try the switch one by one?
Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, you can only walk once, so if you put the door of the room with the lamp open, you can't walk back anymore to switch the switches. Let me know if you want a hint :)
@@Teamexercises ok then Enter the room and turn on the light from
The inside? I don’t remember having read or heard in the video that only one of the 3 boutons were related to the light in the room.
@@soniaadopteuncoach8610 Yes, see 0:22 in the video: "One of the switches is connected to a lamp in another room". There is a way to know which switch is connected to the lamp with only walking 1 time to the other room, but for the solution you have to think out of the box :) HINT: Use your hands
please tell the answer i had a strong headache
Haha you can find the answer in the comments. Someone already guessed it correctly 😊
@@Teamexercises is that a creative out of box response from you?
@@AnandA-cy5br Hahaha yes! :)
For led lamps sa they dont glow we can use the following trick
Break put all switches and pull out the wires connected now go to other room but keep the door of first room open so that you can see from room 2 the wires , remove the lamp and pull the wires and observe which of the wires in room 1 will move and you will find the answer
Haha good one! But the wires should be long enough! 😅
Turn on the switch A for 5 minuts and wait then turn it off then do this with B and C the go to the other room if the lamp is hot then it C if it's warm then it's B if It's cold then It's A
Good one! Only, why should you first turn on switch A? I think in this example you can just leave it off without ever switching it, right?
It's easy. Leave the door open,return to the room and flip each switch until you see the light glow. Or,you could flip switch by switch and look under the door.
Edit: Well,I tried.
Hi Jeremiah, Thank you for your answer. You are only allowed to walk one time to the other room and you can't look under the door.. So,.. keep on searching for the right answer :)
How about go into the other room and see what wire is connected to and switch the lights on easy🎉
Hi Tom, thank you for your comment. Ufortunately this isn’t the right answer. If you are in the other room you cannot see which switch is connected to the lamp based on the wires.
