Felix is in a room that has three switches and a closed door. The switches control three light bulbs on the other side of the door. Once Felix opens the door, he can never touch the switches again. How can Felix definitively tell which switch is connected to each light bulb?

A: Turn on the first two switches. Leave them on for five minutes. Once five minutes have passed, turn off the second switch, leaving one switch on. Now go through the door. The light that is still on is connected to the first switch. Felix then takes a piece of cloth and touches the other bulbs. The one that is warmer to touch is connected to the second switch. The cold bulb is connected to the switch that was never turned on.
