You have two fuses, each of which burns for exactly 1 hour, but unevenly. How can you measure exactly 45 minutes?

Answer: Light the first at both ends and the second at one end, then light the second's other end when the first has burned out. The first fuse, burning from both ends, is consumed in 30 minutes. At that moment the second has been burning for 30 minutes, leaving 30 minutes of material. Lighting its second end makes it burn twice as fast: 15 minutes. Total: 30 + 15 = 45 minutes.
