Hmmm.... thats tricky since theres a debate between whats fruit and whats vegetable. I learned that anything with seeds are considered fruit. SO....I'm going to guess....

corn ?

A carrot?

Is there something to throw away of a carrot?

I have no idea of which vegetable could it be.

Maybe it's really a corn.

There is a 2-story house. The first floor has 3 unmarked switches that control 3 incandescent light bulbs on the second floor. The ONLY way to see the lightbulbs is to go up to the second floor. Making only one trip to the second floor, how can you determine which switches control which bulbs?

Turn on a switch and run up the stairs to see wuts on???

I donno.

Maybe you can determine this seeing the dispositions of the switches in the first floor and the disposition of the bulbs in the second floor; if it's the same, a switch will control the corresponding bulb.

Givort, the previous riddle said that you throw away an internal part of the vegetable, so it cannot never be a carrot... And peel a carrot isn't necessary, so you don't throw away nothing or nearly nothing.
And don't use capital letters...

Turn on 2 at a time

If you turn on 2 switches and then go upstairs, you will only match the bulb turned off with the single switch that wasn't turned on. But what about the other 2 bulbs? How can you tell which switch controls which bulb?

Two of the three are dead. You turn on three and unscrew two

What?..............and its probably not the answer I'm looking for. the solution is easy and has nothing to do with unscrewing light bulbs.

HINT: Incandescent

I will ignore your hint. The switches have labels

In that case, read the riddle again.

The floor is see-through?
