You have three switches in one room and a single light bulb in another room. You are allowed to visit the room with the light bulb only once. How do you figure out which switch controls the bulb? Write your answer in the comments before looking at other answers.

Grab the bulb and bring into the room with you and replace it into a light fixture in your switch room. See which switch controls it. If this doesn't work, retrieve the bulb and answer with "currently none of the switches control it."
