[NEW UNSOLVED 15k (sent by benonKnught) You have two hour-lasting fuses that arent burning evenly. How to measure 45 mins using that fuses?
I assume i get matches to light them but here is the awnser:
If you burn it from both sides, it will burn up in half an hour.
If you burn it from 1 side, half an hour will only consume half an hour worth of fuse. So when the one you lit on both sides has burned up, there will be 30 minutes left on the other fuse.
At that point you also lit the other side of your 30 minutes fuse, which will burn twice as fast now. 30/2 =15
So when the second fuse is done, 45 minutes have passed.
Again, this only works if you have fire available
But since its a fuse riddle i assume you do
I will make 2 new riddles to fill the gaps
