here's one.
You are alone in a house with three floors. In the third floor, there is a light bulb. In the basement, there are three switches. One switch turns the lamp in the third floor on and off while the other two switches have no function. You cannot see the third floor from the basement, nor can you see which of the three switches has a function. Your job is to find out which switch is responsible for the light bulb in the third floor. You are allowed to go upstairs only one time.
How do you find out which switch turns the light bulb on and off?

Is it:
Flip Switch 1 > wait 30 minutes > Turn Off
Flip Switch 2 > Go upstairs?
If the bulb is hot it was switch 1, if it's on it's switch 2 if it's off and cold it's switch 3. ?

You can only ask each man one question, but it must be the same question for both. What is the question that would allow you to get the information necessary to choose the correct path?

Joseph I wanted to ask you - how many couples are supposed to be there?
It says 8 but I'm getting data for like 9 in the beginning.
I got confused and didn't want to spend unnecessary time on it if the riddle's answer was : "It is not possible to know everything about everyone from this information"

I will work on that ASAP then. I'm too afraid to sleep because I watched the Happening two nights ago and it was oddly terrifying.
