  • this is the classic answer but it also fails pure logic because the question only implies one of them actually works, and even then, it’s only one of them. the truth is any number of them could work, or a specific combination, or a number of combinations, or it might be none. the bulb itself to could be busted. my point is not to be an uncooperative asshole but that a logic puzzle that relies on real world properties should cover its bases.

    i said typically, and colloquially. literally zero people refer to hemiptera specifically when they say bug. if you look at the american heritage dictionary, that’s the exact order used in the definitions:

    #bug
    /bŭg/

    noun

    1. An insect having mouthparts used for piercing and sucking, such as an aphid, a bedbug, or a stinkbug.

    2. An insect of any kind, such as a cockroach or a ladybug.

    3. A small invertebrate with many legs, such as a spider or a centipede.
