Brainteaser:You’re in the office one day when a meeting is called. You realize that some papers you need are at home 37 miles away. You check your watch: if you average 50 miles per hour you can just make it in time. So you run to your car and drive home. At home, you’re getting back into the car and you check the time – you have averaged 25 mph so far.
What speed do you need to do to get back to the office in time for the meeting?
Brainteaser:You are the organizer for a tennis tournament. It will be a singles knock-out competition.You receive 117 entries.
How many matches do you need to schedule so to find the winner of the competition?
Brainteaser:You have two pieces of fuse, the type that you use for gunpowder. Each burns for exactly one hour when lit at one end. Unfortunately, each burns at an inconsistent rate - sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.
How can you use these two pieces of fuse to measure 45 minutes?
