ok, cswat wins. two to the fifth power or 32. that was too easy.

Imagine you are in a jail cell. On the wall at the back of the cell are three levers. In the corner of the cell there is a ladder and at the top of the ladder is a trap door. Above the trap door is a room where there is a single light bulb in the ceiling that is connected to one of the switches below. You are approached by the gaurd who tells you that you may inspect and operate the levers as many times as you like... he tells you that the switches are all currently in the off position... but that in ten minutes -you are to go up in the room through the trap door. You cannot come back down and touch the levers any more once you have opened the trap door. When you enter the room above the trap door you will be met by a giant gaurd with a razor sharp sword. This man will ask you to tell him which of the switches in the cell below operates the light bulb in the room above. If you guess right... you get certain freedom. If you guess wrong you meet certain death. What would you do?

I would guess right.

sorry sir but you would have a 50/50 shot at life where as cswatt would have a gauranteed ticket out. ( he answered correctly in an earlier post... )
