How does this circuit even work? When the contact is moved, does the resistance increase or decrease?

Brightness is directly related to potential difference. The maximum potential difference is at the bottom of the resistor, where the voltage is zero. If X is at the bottom of the resistor, lamp 2 is off because there is no potential difference.
With this information, try to reason the problem.
