Puzzle solution
You are 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 you open the door, you may never touch the switches again. How can you definitively tell which switch is connected to each of the light bulbs?
Solution: Turn on the first 2 switches and wait 5 minutes. Turn off one and go through the door. The light shining is the switch you left on. Now of the other two off lights one is still warm that will be your second switch which is now off. The third is a cold light and therefore the switch you didn't play with at the start.
Ta da!

About this poem:
spotted this brain teaser, can you solve it
SLEEP…
Lost in an abyss of darkness, I seek after it warily.
Fighting off the Insomnia that so easily overtakes me can be hard;
And sleep can be so elusive when I want it.
But I know it won’t always be so.
I don’t seem to need it as much as I have before,
But I must have it often…until I need it no more.
Longing for the abyss of darkness, I seek after it wearily.
Sleep hides me away from my fears and my doubts,
So come, sweet sleep, and hide me now.
And, one day, it’ll hide me away from this life too.
Fighting off the Insomnia that so easily overtakes me can be hard;
And sleep can be so elusive when I want it.
But I know it won’t always be so.
I don’t seem to need it as much as I have before,
But I must have it often…until I need it no more.
Longing for the abyss of darkness, I seek after it wearily.
Sleep hides me away from my fears and my doubts,
So come, sweet sleep, and hide me now.
And, one day, it’ll hide me away from this life too.

[ I ]
*** PROLOGUE ***
“You give a flower to the man - and the one, in his recklessness and ignorance, throws it away.
You give a pebble to the man, then,
smaller than any pebble
the open eye would have seen it, - but the man throws it again, from the same precepts; - or you, hearing his heart that he no longer listens to, you know he was shouting: these are too big for me!.."

*** PROLOG ***
“Îi daruie?ti o floare, omului, - iar acela, în nechibzuin?a-i ?i ne?tiin?a-i, ?i-o arunca.
Îi daruie?ti o pietricica, atunci, omului,
mai mica decât orice pietricica
ar fi zarit-o ochiul liber, - însa omul, ?i-o arunca, iara?i, din acelea?i precepte; - ori tu, auzindu-i inima pe care nu ?i-o mai asculta, ?tii ca striga: sunt prea mari, pentru mine, acestea!..”
