Question 11 seems to be the only one without an answer.

Question 11
Two fuses each take exactly one hour to burn. Neither burns at a steady rate.  For example, one could take 59 minutes to burn the first centimetre, then burn the rest of the fuse in the last minute.
How could you use these two fuses to measure 45 minutes?

Fuse 1: Light at both ends - takes 30mins
Fuse 2: Light at one end (same time as you light Fuse 1); when fuse 1 is finished (at 30mins), light the other end of of fuse 2. Fuse 2 should finish at 45mins.
