post ur grate riddles hear
you have two ropes. each rope takes one hour to burn. these ropes are not identical, nor are they uniform; i.e. it does not necessarily take half an hour for half the rope to burn (if you have trouble visualizing this, imagine a rope of varying thickness across its length). with only these two ropes and a way to light them, how do you measure out 45 minutes?
light both ends of one rope, but only one end of the other rope (after ofc)
ps how do i do spoiler tags or do spoilers somehow
