A room with no windows and one door.
Inside are threee lights labeled 1, 2, and 3,
outside are switched labeled A, B, and C.
You can flip the switches as many times as you like, but you can only open the door once.
Which Switch goes to which light?

My guess is 42.
That is all.

You take a 98-percent concentration of fuming nitric acid and add the acid to three times that amount of sulfuric acid. Do this in an ice bath. Then add glycerin drop-by-drop with an eye dropper. You have nitroglycerin.

why can't you look at the slot under the door? or maybe the peephole? or maybe
tear up the walls and trace the wiring?

or, why can't you leave the door open while you flip the switches, and watch to see which goes to which? this questin is silly.

Turn on switch A, and leave it on for ~5 minutes, then turn it off. Immediately turn on switch B and enter the room. The light that is off and warm is controlled by A, the light that is on it controlled by B, and the light that is off and cold is controlled by C.

I agree with Mightymon, the answer is 42. Douglas Adams knows everything.

Here is what you do:
Unskrew all of the lightbulbs and bring them out into the hall. When you flip the light switch, the light bulb will light
