Dear habibi
This particular question was refered as an Anecdote by none other than Alex Trebek the all time famous host of Jeopardy, in an episode where one of the categories was "In Quotations"!!!!!
Now you tell me was it not quizzical enough or was it not amusing enough???
About spending too much time on this board, well I am fortunate enough to have 24/7 access to the internet, and I happen to particularly like this board, and thats what I do when I take a break!!!

Habibi, you grouch! "We are not amused..."
Here's an interesting one. No tricks but it does involve lateral
thinking. As (predominantly) engineers, I bet many of you (me included)
will come up the answer of two trips.
But it can be done in only one trip. It's interesting how we think about
puzzles/problems - specifically how we tend to frame them in our domain.
Okay, here's the puzzle:
You are in the basement of a strange house. There are three
light switches, A, B, and C. These light switches are connected
to light bulbs in three rooms upstairs.
How many times do you have to flip a switch(es) and make a trip
upstairs to work out which switch is wired to which bulb?

is this the one where you keep one on for 5 minutes and turn it off and then switch the second one on and then walk down to see which bulb is on and which bulb is warm..?

Whether it is a quizzical or not, it certainly was something that we could kill the time with! It is similar to the following :
Leave him, not kill him
Leave him not, kill him
Woman, without her, man is a savage (makes women happy )
Woman without her man, is a savage (makes women mad )

light switches
twice
turn a switch on, go up to see whcih room it is in, come back down, flip another switch on(don't turn the first off) and go up.
Of course I could have made a fool of myself. My thinking is not as logical as you engineers with super math skills
