ok, i made this one up from somehing i once heard...

A while back, CS organized an event. It was a get-together in Austria where members had a lot of fun getting drunk and doing all kind of stupid stuff, like licking toilet seats and such...

Among other things, CS also organized a horse racing event. The race was great, but now that we are back, there seems to be an argument over who won and the rankings of us all. Everyone is saying what they remember has happened, but noone remembers the exact ranking. However, everyone is truthfull and accurate in what he says he remembers. This is what they remember, briefly stateted:

Mike behind Brunette, Twinself and Lagoona.
Mano behind Lagoona and in front of Flower, Earthman and Loonie.
Lagoona in front of Mike, Mano and Earthman.
Flower behind Earthman, Moonie and Twinself.
Brunette behind Twinself and in front of Flower, Loonie and Moonie.
Earthman in front of Loonie and Mike.
Loonie behind Flower, Brunette and Mano.
Twinself in front of Lagoona, Flower and Mano.
Moonie behind Twinself and in front of Earthman, Loonie and Mano.
Flower behind Mike and Lagoona.
Lagoona in front of Brunette and Loonie.
Earthman behind Brunette, Twinself and Moonie.

Can you sort out the actual rankings of the horserace?professor

rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing Twinself, are you familiar with the expresion "Drink like a horse"... well, all of us did that in the night, continued it during the early hours, went heavy all through morning... climaxed the drinking during lunch and then proceeded on to have a race!

So its not a trick, its a logical problem and yes, its kinda heavyfrustrated

nope, its not earthman, but also, i dont only need the winner, i need the order in wich they finished, all of them scold

now, because that might take some time, i have a more user-friendly teaser i just read:

You are standing in front of a room with one lightbulb inside of it. You cannot see if it is on or off. Outside the room there are 3 switches in the off positions. You may turn the switches any way you want to. You stop turning the switches, enter the room and know which switch controls the lightbulb. How? confused

There is only one light bulb in the room. Two of the three switches control other lights outside the room. You find which lights two of the three switches control outside of the room (e.g. a corridor light switch)......the one that does nothing outside must be the switch for the bulb inside the room.

no, no other lights, you are in an empty universe, just you, three switches and a light bulb that you cant see untill after you have had yours with the switches. You can do anything you want with the switches but only when you are done you can go into the room. Then you need to know exactly which switch turns on the light.
