Did You Know?

Incandescent bulbs convert about 95% of their energy into heat, not light.

This riddle is often used in technical interviews for big tech companies.

Logic puzzles like this test your ability to think beyond just visual state.

Modern LED bulbs generate much less heat, making this riddle harder in the future!
