So, what's the buzz all about?

Graduates of the Entrepreneurial Academy will receive a year-long Chamber membership.
It's like the gift that keeps on giving!
So, if you're an ambitious entrepreneur-to-be in St. Petersburg, don't miss this golden chance to turn your ideas into reality with the Startup Academy.
Time is running out but applications are due by July 28th, so make sure you get yours in on time.
You are a founder of a tech startup, and you have just moved into a new office space. In one of the rooms, there are three light switches on the wall, labeled A, B, and C, but you don't know which switch controls which light bulb in the adjacent room. The room you are in has no windows, and you can only make one trip to the adjacent room to check the lights.
How do you figure out which switch corresponds to each light bulb, ensuring you identify all three correctly, using only one trip to the other room and without anyone's help?

Uniting Tech and Real Estate: The Extraordinary Success Story of Anna Dementov!
Former software programmer Anna Dementov is making waves in the real estate industry with her unique approach that combines technical expertise with luxury property transactions.
Leveraging her tech background, Anna has developed a system to find off-market luxury homes for buyers, achieving high-value deals in the process.
Anna's system involves scanning local neighborhoods to match buyer criteria with listings not yet on the Multiple Listings Services (MLS) network.
By measuring market value, she identifies deals priced below market value, giving her clients a significant advantage. With a database of over 10,000 prospective buyers worldwide, Anna has a global reach in the luxury property market.
Having been in the real estate business for 12 years, Anna developed her system five years ago. Her expertise primarily lies in the downtown Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and South Tampa markets. Recent impressive deals include a $6.525 million St. Petersburg penthouse and five condos in the JW Marriott Resort, averaging $1.5 million per unit.
Looking ahead, Anna is expected to close $60 million worth of Tampa Bay area property transactions by the end of the year, with half of them being off-market deals. Her clients, mostly second homeowners from the Northeast, are drawn to the city's allure and luxury real estate offerings.
Anna Dementov's journey is a true testament to the power of combining different disciplines. Her tech-infused approach to real estate has allowed her to excel in a competitive market, making her a trailblazer in the industry.
As startup founders, business owners, and entrepreneurs, we can learn from Anna's success and embrace innovation to achieve extraordinary results.

Brain Teaser Answer:
Turn on Switch A and wait for a few minutes to let the light bulb heat up.
After a few minutes, turn off Switch A and immediately turn on Switch B.
Now, head to the adjacent room.
Once you enter the adjacent room, you'll find:
The bulb that is off but warm to the touch corresponds to Switch A, as it was turned on for a while before being switched off.
The bulb that is on corresponds to Switch B, as it was turned on and remains on.
The bulb that is off and cool to the touch corresponds to Switch C, as it was never turned on.
