It is!
There is an answer to it. I'm just too tired to think logically at the moment.

A man lives in a house on 2 levels, upstairs are 3 light bulbs, which connect to 3 light switches downstairs.
He does not know which light switch turns on which light bulb and he is only allowed to go up the stairs once to find out. How does he do it?

I agree with leeboy13
I would open the bronze chest
remember that
'You know that at least one of the inscriptions is true, and at least one of the inscriptions is false."
possibilities.....
assuming.... inscriptions real meaning....
Silver = false Treasure is not in this Chest
Gold = true Treasure is not in this Chest
Bronze = true Treasure is not in the Gold Chest
*Not in silver or gold, but in Bronze
Silver = true Treasure is in this Chest
Gold = false Treasure is in this Chest
Bronze = true Treasure is not in the Gold Chest
*Bronze and gold inscriptions contradict each other
Silver = true Treasure is in this Chest
Gold = true Treasure is not in this Chest
Bronze = false Treasure is in the Gold Chest
*Can not be in both silver and gold
Silver = false Treasure is not in this Chest
Gold = false Treasure is in this Chest
Bronze = true Treasure is not in the Gold Chest
*Can not be in gold as bronze says it is not in gold chest
Silver = true Treasure is in this Chest
Gold = false Treasure is in this Chest
Bronze = false Treasure is in the Gold Chest
*Can not be in both silver and gold
Silver = false Treasure is not in this Chest
Gold = true Treasure is not in this Chest
Bronze = false Treasure is in the Gold Chest
*The treasure is in none of the chests! |

1. leave switch One OFF
2. turn switch Two ON for about a minute then turn OFF
3. turn switch Three ON for a few minutes then turn OFF
walk up stairs and feel which bulbs is cold, warm or hot!
cold = switch One
warm = switch Two
hot = switch Three |

close, but really its... leave one switch off... one on, and one on for a few minutes...
cold = switch one
ON = switch two
warm = switch three...

Phew... That took a bit of thinking, it's gotta be the bronze chest. Now give me back the brain cells that died trying to find the answer!

Easy ones. Solve the two riddles. The answers should be anagrams of each other.
(Thing 1)
You use me when you want to cook
For friends or family.
But, whether written down or not,
It's best you stick to me.
(Thing 2)
I like to think that I'm a skill,
Not just some old technique.
People do me to their ears,
Or nose, or tongue, or cheek.

You approach two talking doors. One door leads to the City of Truth, while the other door leads to the City of Liars. You do not know which door is which. You are able to ask only one question to determine which door is which. The door that leads to the City of Liars always speaks lies, while the door that leads to the City of Truth always speaks the truth. You want to go to the City of Truth. What question do you ask to determine which door leads to the City of Truth |

A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison."
After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?
