Turn on switch a. Go to the basement. Unplug one of the bulbs that are not
lighten (lets say 2), and the one which is (lets say 1). Go upstairs and
turn on switch b. You already know that switch a goes to bulb 1. If you see
light now, switch b controls bulb 3, and switch c controls bulb 2. If not,
switch b controls bulb 2 and switch c controls bulb 3.
