here is a challenge question http://trickiestofall.blogspot.com/2011/06/100-prisoners-and-light-bulb.html

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simple, the first time each prisoner enters the room, they put a notch on the wall. once there are 100 notches, it is confirmed that all prisoners have been in the room

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are prisoners if the there warden gets to know they will be executed

OpenStudy (sriram):

when any prisoner enters the room he must make some mark. either on the wall or do something to the wire of the bulb (like making a single knot in the wire or something) so if any prisoner enters for the first time he must tie a knot and count the number of knots if someone is entering the second time he jst need not do anything
