You have five pirates, ranked from 5 to 1 in descending order. The top pirate has the right to propose how 100 gold coins should be divided among them. But the others get to vote on his plan, and if fewer than half agree with him, he gets
killed. How should he allocate the gold in order to maximize his share but live to enjoy it? (Hint: One pirate ends up with 98 percent of the gold.)

You have twelve coins, all look alike. All coins are of equal weight except one, which may be heavier or lighter.
You have a pan balance and you can use it only three times. Put coins in different combinations and weigh three times. After the third time you should precisely say which coin is the culprit and whether it is heavier or lighter than the rest.

You are given 9 stainless steel balls (same size, but only one weighs slightly more than the other 8). You have a scale that allows you to balance things on either side. You are only allowed to use this scale twice. How do you identify which ball weighs more?

You have two fuses… they burn at different rates and not at
steady rates. BUT! They only burn for one hour. One could burn the
entire way except one inch within one minute, then spend the last 59 on
that last inch, for example.
You also have to use this to somehow time 45 minutes exactly. How would you do it?
