Congratulations! You all got it! Sorta... Nobody mentioned light and shadow, but nevertheless you all receive a portion of Sam's curry rat dish!
Now, for another riddle... You better solve it, don't want to miss next delicacy, do you!?
* A plane crashes. The only survivor swims to an island. On the island, two tribes live... One always speak the truth and do everything properly. The other always lie and they tend to do everything contrary. Our survivor meets one of the tribesman. He does not know from which village is the bloke. He wants to make sure to end up in the village of those who always speak the truth, so he asks/tells something to this bloke.... And he takes him to the village of the truth speakers!
What did the man say/ask?

Then he goes with the opposite tribe.

The easiest would be: "Take me to your village!" But I guess you could manage to achieve something with your ideas...
Unfortunately Sam was too wasted to prepare you anything... *sighs*
But, hey! There is another riddle!
* The more you have me, the less you are... What am I?*

Technically correct answer would be *drugs*. But so many interesting answers... *starts dialing a shrink* There are some valid ones too! I see that Fenix is happily married!
As you might have guessed, no reward for Sam this time as well... He accidentally took a bite of his meal and now he is in deep coma and we are struggling for his life... *Sighs* it is about time I recruit someone more proper to reward you....
So, anyway,
* There is a hallway. In that hallway there is a door which leads to a room. In the room there are four bulbs. On the wall of the hallway there are four switches. You the prodigy riddler are to find out which one of the switches turns on the only bulb which works...
This is how you must do it: The door is shut. You must turn on only one switch. Before you go into the room, you must switch the switch off (what a neat sentence!). Only after doing so you are allowed to enter the room. Than you can go out, shut the door and repeat the process for as many times you want, until you solve the riddle...
Good luck!

Well, if it's old-style light bulbs which turn almost the entire energy into heat rather than light, you just feel for warm light-bulbs upon entry. If you don't burn your fingers on any bulb, it was the wrong switch ... or with LEDs you probably just have to wait longer, will have to check with the new bulbs in the kitchen.

1. Set up phone to video all 4 bulbs. 2. Go outside the room. 3. Bang on door, flip first switch on and off. 4. Repeat for switches 2-4. 5. Identify working bulb by video record; identify switch by how many bangs on the door.

Also, a simple multimeter hooked to the sockets with the min/max functions enabled would do the trick. Do I get to have a multimeter? I have five.

If you don't burn your fingers on any bulb, it was the wrong switch ... or with LEDs you probably just have to wait longer, will have to check with the new bulbs in the kitchen. So, works with LEDs, too. The difference is remarkable, you don't accidentally melt any plastic, if you turn the spotlights the wrong way, fingers are safe, but after ten minutes or so, the LEDs do get noticeably warmer than the environment. Tataaa ... works for the future.

Nah... don rubber gloves (and rubber-soled shoes just to be sure), remove the faceplates for all four switches and wire all the switches' connections to a single bus-bar. Push bar down and enter lighted room. Is it my fault that said procedure may incapacitate other nearby equipment? Nobody said I couldn't indulge in a little sabotage at the same time. (Besides, I'm a software dev. and this sounds a lot like a hardware problem.)

If you can't write programs for it, it's not a real machine (that includes screwdrivers!). Yes, I realise I suggested unscrewing the switch faceplate(s) in my previous comment - it's left as an exercise for the reader on how to do that without a screwdriver.

I give up! *Throws the riddle book onto ceiling and it stays there...* You guys can solve anything!
...Well, congratulations! *grouses something and frowns...* As for your reward, Frubo recorded a special trance version of his Doom song. Simply put on the headphones, turn the volume to maximum (otherwise it wont work) and click on the song text below). You wont be able to hear anything else ever again after it, but Frubo says its worth it!
*Dooom... Dadadooomdooooom..Dooomydididdoooooooooooooooooooom, da da dooooooooooooooooooooom!*
Hm... Since you are so good with complicated riddles, maybe I could give ya some easy ones... *laughs hysterically*
* Purple Dragon Knight Blade said: "Swordmajor is my brother!". Swordmajor said that he doesn't have a brother. Who is telling the truth?
