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 !!!

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 !!!

I don't know hindhi.

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?

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 !!!
