Question

You have two boxes of matches and 2 fuses. The fuses burn for one hour each. How can you tell when 45 minutes have passed? Note: you cannot bend the fuses or mark the fuses; the fuses are different lengths and burn at different speeds. The only guarantee is that they will burn for 1 hour each.

Answer

Burn one fuse at both ends and the second at one end only. When the first fuse burns out completely half an hour is complete. At this moment, burn the other end of the second fuse. When the second fuse burns out, 45 mins will be complete.
