I dont freaking undertsand your questions at all, elf, maybe you should go study common some more before adventure to Faerun any furthur

any hows, I have guesses

I cannot figure out which one, but I can increase the chances to 50%

just divide the four switchs into two groups. the correct one must be in either group. pick a group, then flip one switch. if that one doesnt work, then must be the other one. 50% chance, better than randomly choose in four.

this solution doesnt work for four light bulbs... so I suppose it is incorrect. but heck, what did you mean by "as soon as he >>>>exist<<< the room with lamp" ? and what did you mean by "he doesnt have to give the answer immediately" that helps

I thought he MUST give the answer?
