A puzzle: May be some member might be aware of this one. Still since I was not able to come up with a solution even after pondering on it for a week (whenever I was free), I thought it appropriate to post it here. (I finally gave up and headed to the solution page. ) The Puzzle goes like this-- There is a rope 1 meter long. If you set fire at one end of the rope it burns completely in 60 minutes. So you have the rope and a match-box. Using this you want to measure 30 minutes and you don't have a watch. The twist is that the rope is pretty uneven. At some place it is fat and at others it is thin. So that it doesn't burn out evenly. Its like half of the rope burns in first 10 minutes but the other half takes up 50 minutes to burn. So how will you measure 30 minutes?
