Brain teaser:

No fair if you already know the answer!

You have 2 double-ended candles that burn for exactly one hour each. How can you tell when EXACTLY 45 minutes have passed?

I know this is an easy one, but it's just a warm-up.

 

[APhil]

Light one end of one candle and compare its length to the length of the unlit candle.

 

[sexy-girl]

do you have a clock as well because that would make it a lot easier


i feel i should be able to work this out pretty easy but i cant think straight now hmmm

 

[Lady_J]

*buzzer noise*
Wrong! Try again.

 

[sexy-girl]

light one from both ends (burn out in 30mins)

snap other one in half and light that from both ends when first one finishes (burn out in 15mins)


that might be wrong though because not sure if you're allowed to cut them in half

 

[Lady_J]

You're close, but do it without snapping it in half....

 

[APhil]

So light one candle at both ends and wait the half hour.

Light the other candle at both ends and when it's half gone, there's 45 minutes.

How can you tell when EXACTLY 45 minutes have passed?

When I finally figure out how to get exactly 4 gallons of water using only a 3-gallon and 5-gallon jug.

[LukkyKnight]

Fuck the candles.

Set an alarm on the palm pilot.

 

[Lady_J]

Nope, sorry, no estimating 'half gone' allowed.

 

[Lady_J]

Palm Pilot.

Damnit, why didn't I think of that?

Who gets a double ended candle anyways?

And now I'll be thinking about the jug thing for the rest of the day.

Oh please, Fill the 5, pour from there into the 3, leaving 2. Put it in your target vessel and repeat.

I'd use the candle to masturbate and I wouldn't care how long it took.

Gimme another though, I dig these.

 

[markb325]

Assuming that the candle burns out at exactly an hour, at 45 minutes there will be exactly one quarter of the candle left.

Jesus Christ. Is that all you ever think about?

It's all I ever think about.

I always knew we were cut from the same cloth.

can you tell i havent had sex in over a week

 

[LukkyKnight]

Just what is a single-ended candle, anyway? No way you could get it to stay in a candlestick, eh?

 

[miles]

No fair if you already know the answer!

I know this is an easy one, but it's just a warm-up.

When you light the candles, set a timer for 45 minutes.

ughh a math question

 

[Lady_J]

Nope, no estimation, I swear there is an answer that will give you exactly 45 minutes- well not to the second because it takes a second to light the candles, but no guessing time.

Maybe if I make it an erotic brain teaser it will be more interesting:
You have 2 double ended candles and a vibrator. You have exactly 45 minutes to masterbate before you have to leave to go to a party. How will you know when time is up?

 

[sexy-girl]

it is interesting its just im stumped ... i will try and work it out though (dont give it away yet )

I answered it correctly!!!!!!!!!

 

[LukkyKnight]

How will you know when it's time to quit masturbating?

When the batteries run down? Who cares about being on time to a party?

 

[Lady_J]

Un huh... You just keep telling yourself that.

How many 20 cent stamps in a dozen?
