    possible answer below,shrunk it because I didn't want to spoil anything if I hit the right thing... I could swear i've heard this one before...

    You turn the 1st switch on, wait a little then turn it off and turn the second one on. Then when you go upstairs if the light is on you found the right switch. If it's off you could touch the light bulb & if it's warm then it's the first switch, if it's cold it'd be the third switch?

    I had to answer this in a job interview earlier this year, and I sort of had a feeling this is what you meant when I saw the thread title.

    Haha yeah, for something as carefully worded as riddles, you should really make sure there aren't any typos.

    Fuck the switches on the first floor. Go upstairs use the one on the 2nd floor that they fail to mention.

    Dont even use the fucking knife, just take a bite out of each of them

    Shoot the electrician that decided putting the light switch for a second floor bedroom/closet on the first floor was a genius idea.
