Ok here's another one:

You have a rope that burns non-homogeneouly but it takes one hour to totally burn. This does not mean that burning half its length is half an hour.

If you have two of this rope, how can you time 45 minutes.
So whats the answer to that one?

A human being. Right after birth (the morning of our lives) we crawl on hands and legs, as we grow up (the afternoon of our lives) we walk on two legs, when we grow older (the evening of our lives), we need a walking stick; the third leg.

That's a classic, Zlatan :thumb:

Oohh nostalgia then :touched: I've got one for you:

There are two rooms. One of them has three lamps, the other one has three light switches connected to the lamps in the other room.

You are in the room with the light switches and it is impossible for you to look into the other room.

You can only leave ONE lightswitch switched on and go into the other room ONCE to check which lamp you switched on.

How do you find out which lightswitches are connected to each of the lamps?
Pull the wires out?:D

Jeeks q:

Burn the first rope on one end and burn the second rope on both ends at the same time. After the second rope is burnt completely, immediately burn the other end of the first rope.
