Can someone else staying at this hotel please tell me how to turn off that light:

This is urgent, I need some sleep before the finals.

It has a small button in the right part of the frame. Near the right side of the TV.

The bottom is dark brown, so it can be confused with the frame color.

Use Fast Fourier Transform to find the coordinates of the off switch.

Though I am quite late. But next time, if you are stuck in a hotel and struggling to switch off lights, use this technique XD. unnamed

    Interesting! rubai_99 made this joke 11 months too late and got -16. You made the same joke 20 months later and have a positive score. Is it the way you're telling it?

      Yeah the way he told it actually made it funny, like because of the picture and all.

      Moreover, as far as upvotes and downvotes are concerned, there is also some luck factor involved because of the inductive effect. If you get initially downvoted, other people are more likely to downvote you even further.

        Yes if you get negative initial then in 30 minutes it turned into -30. Check the comment before downvote.

        I got 12 downvotes in 3 minutes only for being against cheating here. Till now, I don't know why I got the huge amounts of downvotes.

          I think it's depends on first few people's votes. (Please change the mind if the comment has 1 downvote it doesn't mean that the comment is useless.it useless or impractical according to his/her thinking.) You observe if your comments have -2 at first then it's trun into -20 most of the cases.

            Yes, people are influenced by that. That is why any downvotes less than -5 are not shown and Mike even stated that in an old blog.
