Brain teaser:

You light both ends of one of the double ended candles, but only ONE end of the other.

When the first one burns out, you light the other end of the other candle. When the second one burns out, it's been 45 minutes.

Am I right?
 
YAY! Congrats Draah! Way to go!

*does cheer in the manner of high school cheerleader*
Gooooooo team!
 
No, I doubt that I am, but I think I'm close.

It's about lighting only one end of the other...I think...mmm.

Does the rule about not answering if I know the solution still apply?

Oh please, Fill the 5, pour from there into the 3, leaving 2. Put it in your target vessel and repeat.
I know. It was a joke. If they can figure it out in Die Hard, I think it's pretty easy.

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.


I demand a recount. My answer is correct.
