What is the original fuse question?
Friends,
I think i was not quite clear in describing the fuses problem..
Let me rephrase the question ...
You have got number of Strings (fuses).
*All the Strings take exactly ONE hour to burn COMPLETELY...
*The Strings are non-uniforms...ie any two portions of the sting may not behave in the same way (ie One cant say 1/4 of string corresponds to quarter of an hour)
With this knowledge and a lighter,can one measure the time interval of 45 minutes ???
KN...
You can proceed yaar...
if i see any intresting ones..wud add..
Cheers !!!
Easy....burn from the centre!
Gunther...
burning from center ? kisliyae ??? :-((
(The following is quite old one..if know already...dont mind for repeating...) :-))

Theres a Toll-Gate Bridge between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka over River Cauvery.
A person crossing the bridge has to dole out Rs.100.It takes 40 mins for a person to cross by fastest means.So,Both Govt decides to give 30 mins break for gate-keeper.The keepers go for a nap exactly at 12.00 am and are back at 12.30 am..
A Smart Tamil Guy ends up reaching the Other Gate without paying a paisa. How did he do that ?
Cheers !!!
senthil, pl why don't you post questions that are not mathematical? it is kind of confusing, you know....
cheers,
kisliyae ???
I don't know hindhi. :(
A Smart Tamil Guy ends up reaching the Other Gate without paying a paisa
Kadi answer 1 - He goes into the bridge one day and comes out the next day.
Kadi answer 2 - He doesnt pay one paisa but 100 rupees.
BTW, do TN and Karnataka share the same time zone? :)
Senthil
About the fuses, I suggest, take the fuse and roll it into a very round ball very very tightly, then cut it into 4 very equal parts, take one part away and burn the other 3 parts, you will have 45 minutes.
If anyone is laughing, remember it was a desperate attempt:-)
Hi all,
Sash..
The bridge is NOT based on mathematical...(though sounds like )..for that matter none of that I posted were.It may be confusing..coz of my Language Skills.Pl Dont mind..
Gunthers almost getting there...
Gunther...
Your name sounded me so ... kisliye ( for what) ????
Friend...
Both TN and karnataka states are most friendly neighbouring states you can get in India..(Almost Like India Vs Pak ) :-))
In India,there is only one time zone...atleast till i came from there.let me hope it stays so till i type here.You can never trust our Politicians..Can we ??? :-)
Regarding fuses problem...
Fridge,
That was a honest attempt yaar !!!
If you want..the Clues are
Clue 1 : First Let us try for 30 minutes...
Clue 11 : It needs Two fuses to solve for 45 mins.
Cheers !!!
What is the answer for ..
4. No sooner spoken than broken. What is it?
Silence....Secret
Hi all...
The Solutions are ...
1.Toll-Bridge :
The Smart Tamil guy sets off from the Tamil Nadu End exactly from 12.00 am and after travelling
for about 25 mins and HE TURNS BACK and walks towards TN end.
At 12.30 am,the dumb KN gate keeper wakes up and makes him RETURN to his karnataka end.
The Guy manages to reaches the other end without paying a paisa.
( I know this is Kadi...
If u were looking for serious Aans..
kaduppu ayi muraikatatheenga :-)) )
2.Fuses Problem...
i) 30 mins :
Take any String(fuse).
Light the fuse from BOTH ENDS of the string.So,when you burn out the fuse,you have measured 30 mins exactly.
Wow..Fridays are really Great !!
Have Fun !!!
Cheers!!!
hi
fuse problem:
take one fuse.... light both ends........ at the same time light one end of the other fuse.... when the first fuse burns out, burn the other end of the second fuse.... the second fuse will burn out in exactly 45 minutes......
Senthil, that was super kadi!!!!now let us get out of the fuse problem..can someone post more riddles?
Riddle: A skin have I, more eyes than one. I can be very nice when I am done.
I think it is KISSING. There are two "i"s in it and a skin too. Sure it is nice when it is done!!!

Three women were walking out from a store, each holding an ice-cream with both of their hands.
The first one was licking her ice-cream,the second one was sucking her ice-cream and the third one was biting the ice-cream.
From the three of them,who do you think is married?
The one with a wedding ring on her fingers..
I like the way you thought...
Dear Hyderabadi @ 203.197.83.46
The catch of the joke is to let others give a piece of their mind.
Later you could have told them whether you like their thoughts or not :)
Two men are in a desert. They both have packs on. One of the guys is dead. The guy who is alive has his pack open, the guy who is dead has his pack closed. What is in the pack?
Parachutes
"From the three of them,who do you think is married?"
I think the gal biting her ice-cream is married..
She is imagining the ice-cream as her man's thing and biting it off..
LOL..she must've really hate her hubby!!!LOL
