    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 !!!

    (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 !!!

    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 !!!
