Your job is to measure 45 minutes if you have only two cords and matches to light the cords.

1. The two cords are twisted from various materials, so their different segments can burn at different rates.
2. Each cord burns from end to end in exactly one hour.

Describe your way of measuring the 45 minutes.

You need to climb ten stairs. At every stair, you can either take one step up or you can jump two steps up.

There is a box full of marbles,
all but two are blue,

How high do you have to count before you use the letter “a” in the English spelling of the whole number?

I cry without having a voice.
I fly without having wings.
I bite without having teeth.
I whisper without a mouth.

Who am I?

I know a country, If you remove the last alphabet of its name, it will become a part of your body. Do you name it?

You can win me and lose me but never buy me
You can not eat me and never want to part with me
I can make you cry or bring you joy
I am not a machine and definitely not a toy
You keep me but i am not forever just yours
You might find me in a case or on a shelf next to a vase
I am hard and i am tall if you bump me i am sure to fall
I am made of different materials and am at many events
If your lucky and fight hard I might be yours
What am I ?

Can you find out what is missing?

1 3 5
2 4 ?

Hint: It's not six. Think out of the box.

Create a number using only the digits 4,4,3,3,2,2,1 and 1. So i can only be eight digits. You have to make sure the ones are separated by one digit, the twos are separated by two digits the threes are separated with three digits and the fours are separated by four digits

What brings you down but never up?
