off, because it's impossible to do that in 1 second. Either that, or you just fried the lamp, which will also mean it's off.

Close. The correct answer, if it was possible, is off, because the lamp would break

Is the switch a momentary switch or does it have spring return? How many positions does the switch have, and if it is a two position toggle switch then which position is considered normally on? What is the polarity configuration and installation orientation of the switch? I will base my answer on this added context and assume that Jordyn is standing upright on the floor.

Jordyn is standing up and the switch is a basic pull string. Is that enough information

What is the return strength and speed of the spring in the switch? I'm skeptical that Jordyn could actually accomplish 28 switch cycles in one second or less...

I'm an electrical engineer by the way, this is what you get for asking a simple question about a light fixture :)

Assuming Jordyn can actually complete said task, I would say that the light would remain on...

I disagree: Jordyn could be a robot. This is especially hypothesizable given the funky spelling.

Why would this affect the outcome..Robots have the capacity to move their limbs with the sensitivity of hummingbird wings. That is a robot designed to pull a string in the millisecond cycle range would.

So 'on" it would as the mediocre mathematics suggest in my plausible axiomatic construct. Otherwise I was stumped and a good riddle.

Depends; is the light bulb out? Is it multi light level? These are the questions
0 ups, 4y
The light bulb is not out and there is only one light level

No, it wouldn't be on or off. Let's say jordyn is a human not a robot it would be impossible to do it 28 times, that's why Jordyn will force doing it and accidentally throws the lamp to the neighbor's head. She has to pay surgery Bill's of 50,000$. Now the lamp is not turned on or off, because now Jordyn doesn't care because she spent her entire life savings.

If someone "pulls" a light switch, it won't do anything. So, the light remains on the whole time.
0 ups, 4y
No, as in like a lamp switch
The strings you pull
