John was going to first base.

The masked man is either an umpire or a catcher.

Here's another one:

You are in a three-story building. In the attic are three simple lights -- normal incandescent bulbs in simple fixtures on the ceiling. Because of poor design, the switches for these three lights are in the basement. Because of poorer design, you don't know which switch is for which light. At least the switches are normal -- regular on/off switches, nothing fancy.

Can you, in making just one trip between the basement and the attic, determine which light switch goes to which light for all three switches?
