TOO EASY, heres some challenging ones from my friend's computer job interviews

1) You have 25 horses, your goal is the find the fastest, 2nd fastest and the 3rd fastest.
You may not use a timer. The only way to find out is by comparing them in races and using the results.
You have 7 races, where a maximum of 5 horses are allowed in each race.
How would u go about finding the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd?
(i think this qusetion was from MIcrosoft hiring)

2) You have 3 ropes. Now these 3 ropes are of different length. The entire rope A burns in 60 minutes, B in 40 min and C in 20 minutes. Now the ropes have are weird, they dont burn at a steady rate, for example if you folded rope A in half, one half may burn up in 5 minutes, while the other half will take 55 minutes to burn up.

You need to find piece rope(s) that amount to approximately 15 minutes time.

These hardly seem like riddles more like lab experiments >_>

no dude, they give u 5min or so to solve it.
critical thinking >;o not lab experiments
u probably wanna use a paper and draw a 5 x 5 grid of dots for the first one

2nd one is way easier
