Can u arrange these 9 digits in the order from left
to right with + or – signs only so as to produce a

Answer: 123-45-67+89
6. A light bulb is hanging in a room. Outside of the
room there are three switches, of which only one is
connected to the lamp. In the starting situation, all
switches are 'off' and the bulb is not lit.

The Question: If it is allowed to check in the room

only once to see if the bulb is lit or not (this is not
visible from the outside), how can you determine with
which of the three switches the light bulb can be
switched on?
Solution:

To find the correct switch (1, 2, or 3), turn switch 1 to 'on' and
leave it like that for a few minutes. After that you turn switch 1
back to 'off', and turn switch 2 to 'on'. Now enter the room. If
the light bulb is lit, then you know that switch 2 is connected to
it. If the bulb is not lit, then it has to be switch 1 or 3. Now
touching for short the light bulb, will give you the answer: if the
bulb is still hot, then switch 1 was the correct one; if the bulb is
cold, then it has to be switch 3.
 
7. There are three boxes. One is labeled "APPLES"
another is labeled "ORANGES". The last one is
labeled "APPLES AND ORANGES". You know that
each is labeled incorrectly. You may ask me to pick
one fruit from one box which you choose.
 
How can you label the boxes correctly?
Answer:
Pick from the one labeled "Apples & Oranges".
This box must contain either only apples or
only oranges.
 
E.g. if you find an Orange, label the box
Orange, then change the Oranges box to
Apples, and the Apples box to "Apples &
Oranges"
