I am one simple word, but I mean different things
One of my meanings brings great forceful swings,
The other of me, may have curve, like the first...
But only one meaning can help quench a thirst.
One of my meanings will often bring cheers,
Either of them could hold a few beers.

As I watch
I see the world pass me by.
All the good, the bad,
in the twinkle of an eye.
I watch and wait,
and patiently sit.
I never began,
so I shall never quit.

My only presence
is in my being.
It is hardly noticed,
and not worth a thing.
I'm fast as light,
thin as air.
Run if you can.
Run if you dare.
To avoid me
is the mark of a fool.
For all you're worth,
your life is my tool.

Though concealed,
I am not shy.
The question is:
What am I?

You have two fuses (a fuse is something you burn to eventually set off an explosive), one which burns 1 hour and one which burns 2 hours. The fuses do not burn at a constant rate, so, for example, the last few inches of the first fuse could take 5 minutes or 55 minutes to burn. You have as many matches as you want. With these fuses, you have to measure a time period of exactly 45 minutes. How do you do this?

Problems in the Elevator:
A person lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every day he takes the elevator to go down to the ground floor to go out. When he returns he takes the elevator to the seventh floor and walks up the stairs to reach his apartment on the tenth floor. Only on rainy days does he take the elevator to the tenth floor. He hates the stairs, so why does he do it?
