Question: Measure the time

Assume that you have a number of long fuses, of which you only know that they burn for exactly one hour after you lighted them at one end. However, you don't know whether they burn with constant speed, so the first half of the fuse can be burnt in only ten minutes while the rest takes the other fifty minutes to burn completely. Also assume that you have a lighter.

How can you measure exactly three quarters of an hour with these fuses?

it can be done with two fuses . Lit first fuse at both ends. you know it will take 30 mins . at same lit second fuse at one end. Now when first fuse is completely burn lit 2nd from other end . It will take another 15 mins.

This was a Q to me in an interview, in 2000, of a software company

dear all,
like quiz, I'll post a question when I'll be free....try to answer these questions and prove that U R genius. that's why i named the thread ' If U can'.

my first question is:

There are 3 gentlemen in a meeting: Mr. Yellow, Mr. Green and Mr. violet. They are wearing yellow,green and violet ties. Mr. Yellow says: "Did you notice that the color of our ties are different from our names?" The person who is wearing the green tie says, "Yes, you are right!"

Do you know who is wearing what color tie?

The data given is insufficient to draw a conclusion without making an assumption.

The data given is insufficient to draw a conclusion without making an assumption.

Ofcourse data is sufficient to draw a perfect conclusion.

Mr. Yellow is wearing the Violet tie.
Mr. Violet is wearing the Green tie.
Mr. Green is wearing the Yellow tie.

Was a tough one... I could measure 30 minutes by lighting both ends, but did not strike to light the other after 30 to get 15.... Nice question....

Mr yellow is not wearing Yellow(he would be wearing either green or violet) and he is replied to by someone wearing Green Tie so the only option for Mr.Yellow is VIOLET..and the rest is easy...
Initially i had also thought that the data is insufficient.
