Cool question.\n\nTake a sheet of aluminum foil and cut it into a thin strip.\n\nTape the metal tip of the bulb to the tip of a flashlight D battery. \n\nWrap one strip of foil around the screw part of the bulb.\n\nNow touch the foil to the bottom of the battery.\n\nThis is a simple circuit!

Zero. They won't do it. Engineers are too busy to change light bulbs and it's beneath them. Just one and he/she will tell you.

"Thomas Edison tried and failed nearly 2000 times to develop the carbonized cotton thread filiment for the incandescent light bulb.  When asked about it, he said, 'I didn't fail. I found out 2000 ways how not to make a light bulb.'  But he only needed to find one way to make it work."\n\nFrom National Treasure

Your answer is correct, and may be fine for your professor, but for readers who are not already familiar with the problem, both the question and the solution are confusingly worded.  I suggest that in the future, you copy the original question here exactly.\n\n\nI would precede your solution with the following:\n\n\nYou can find the floor in a maximum of 14 attempts.\n\nDrop a bulb from the floors in this order:\n14, 27, 39, 50, 60, 69, 77, 84, 90, 95, 99, 100\n\nIf the bulb breaks, stop and test starting from just above the last floor that it didn't break on, and go up one floor at a time.  If the bulb breaks on the first attempt, resume the test from the first floor.\n\nExamples:\n14 (breaks), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13\n\n14, 27, 39 (breaks), 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38\n\n14, 27, 39, 50, 60, 69, 77, 84, 90, 95, 99 (breaks), 96, 97, 98\n\n14, 27, 39, 50, 60, 69, 77, 84, 90, 95, 99, 100 (breaks)

You need to wire them in parallel, with wire heavy enough for the total current and also have a battery that can deliver the current required at the voltage required without voltage drop.  You don't state the battery voltage or the lamp wattage, so I cant work it out for you!\n\n(I take it that you want EACH of the three bulbs to be as bright as one single one?)

Turn on one light bulb and leave it on for a while. Turn it off\nTurn on a second light bulb and leave it on. Go up stairs.\nThe second switch obviously turns on the bulb that is on.\nThe first switch (you turned on then off) is for the lightbulb that is NOT ON but is warm from being used. \nThe  3rd switch obviously is the one for the unlit lightbulb that's cold.

These are specially designed light bulbs that have had their light output calibrated to a standard source at NIST (or maybe some other standards organization). They must be operated at a specified voltage potential. They usually cost an arm and a leg, have a limited lifetime (the filament evaporates over time changing its characteristics and also plating the glass of the bulb with a thin film of metal) and are only as stable as the voltage/current supply you power it with. You must also take care to never touch the glass with bare skin or anything else that might deposit contaminants.\n\nYou also have to be very careful not to touch the glass with bare skin or any other contaminants.

there is a blinker light on the set of lights you have to find it and put a regular light in.

Two- one to change it, the other one to scratch its bottom. :-)\n\nHow many economists does it take to screw in a light bulb?\n\nNone. If the light bulb really needed changing, market forces would have already caused it to happen.

I guess so.. That's kind of stupid though. Why would you want to change a lightbulb with your feet? Once you get the bulb situated to where it stays in the socket without falling, then it would be pretty easy to keep it rotating until the electricity can circulate throughout the bulb. Try it...

"So 50 amps without considering lighting."\nthats the pitfall right there. \n\nAmperes is the unit for measuring current. Since the supply voltage is fixed at 110 v (I assume you are in the americas), the amount of energy you are using is given by the number of amps you are drawing.\n\nthe current drawn by each of the appliances, adds up arithmetically. Ideally your supply should support running all your appliances at the same time. and that should include lighting. \n\nif your lighting draws close to or more than 10 amps then you are overshooting your supply rating, you should upgrade.\n\nLike somebody else mentioned, air conditioning units and picture tubes draw a large amount of current (much larger than the value mentioned on the manual), when they start up. I'm not sure how your panel/utility company policy are set up to handle this, but it can be a problem if you are operating with too little amperage to spare.\n\nagain you are right that all the equipment would not be operating at full blast at the same time, but think of this hypothetical situation: after a power outtage, all the equipment want power to get back to normal operating state (heated/cooled/whatever), you might have to bring them up in stages, switching on one unit 30 mins after the earlier one was switched on..\n\nand there is one more thing you are overlooking: planning for growth. you dont want to go through the hassle of upgrading your supply limits just because you bought a new neon lamp for your window :)

If the  six surfaces of the room are fixed with 100% reflecting mirrors than after the switch off of the bulb the room will be in lights. If you do not switch off the bulb the light energy in the room will be increasing and at time it will go to threshold to blast of ....
