Here is an easy one..
You have a lighter and two fuses that take exactly one hour to burn, but they don't burn at a steady rate. For example, one fuse could take 59 minutes to burn the first inch and then burn the rest of the fuse in the last minute.
How would you use these two fuses to measure 45 minutes?

As this seems to be the thread for silly questions (other threads on DIYaudio seem to concentrate more on silly answers) can I ask a silly question: what is the point of this thread?
You seem puzzled?

Hi,
Its only easy if you know the answer.
Light one fuse at both ends the other at one end.
When the first burns out light the other end of the other.
45 minutes.

Name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday.

A twist on previous puzzle.
A man is traveling with a fox and two chickens, if he leaves the fox alone with the chickens the fox will eat the chickens. He comes to a river and needs to cross it, he finds a small boat that can carry only him and one animal, how does he get himself, the fox and two chickens across the river safely?

A man is traveling with a fox and two chickens
- Fox across - leaves it.
- Chicken 1 across, leaves it, returns with fox
- Leaves fox, takes Chicken 2 across
- returns empty
- Brings fox across.
Then goes looking for egg laying rooster.
Oops! Was crossing the river while Cal was posting!
