Daily puzzles 1

For those who are interested in solving the puzzles .we are starting the "Daily puzzles" posts from Today. If you got answers reply us in the comment box below the post. The solutions will be posted on the next day in the comment box. So get ready guys!!!!
1.You are given two candles of equal size, which can burn 1 hour each. You have to measure 90 minutes with these candles. (There is no scale or clock). Also u r given a lighter.

2. How will you measure height of building when you are at the top of the building?And if you have stone with you.

3.You have 100 doors in a row that are all initially closed. you make 100 passes by the doors starting with the first door every time. the first time through you visit every door and toggle the door (if the door is closed, you open it, if its open, you close it). the second time you only visit every 2nd door (door #2, #4, #6). the third time, every 3rd door (door #3, #6, #9), etc, until you only visit the 100th door. what state are the doors in after the last pass? which are open which are closed?

4.A mad bomber is out on the job, making bombs. he has two fuses (pieces of string) of varying thickness which each burn for 30 seconds. unfortunately he wants this bomb to go off in 45 seconds. he can’t cut the one fuse in half because the fuses are different thicknesses and he can’t be sure how long it will burn. how can he arrange the fuses to make his bomb go off at the right time?

5.A one armed surgeon with a hand wound needs to operate on three patients. the surgeon only has two gloves. how can he operate on the three patients in turn without risking exchange of fluids? (remember he only has one arm so he only needs to wear one glove at a time.)
The solution will be posted tomorrow..:)
