FRENS.......TRY SOLVING THIS....

There are two lengths of rope.
Each one can burn in exactly one hour.
They are not necessarily of the same length or width as each other.
They also are not of uniform width (may be wider in middle than on the end), thus burning half of the rope is not necessarily 1/2 hour.

By burning the ropes, how do you measure exactly 45 minutes worth of time?

Since we have established that each rope burns in exactly 1 hour and other parameters are unknown like width, thickness, length etc, then the closest assumption would be to assume that if you burnt the rope from both ends, it will halve the burn time, i.e 30 mins to burn the rope fully. With this info as the foundation we can use this as the basis to set the burn time.
1. Light both ends of the first rope and only one end of the other rope.
2. When the first rope finished burning, yiou know that time taken = 30 mins.
3. Now you know that at the same time the other rope which is burning from only one end also has another 30 mins to go, so now you burn the other end of the rope also. Since both ends are burning now, the time of 30 mins will be halved to 15 mins.
4. 30 mins + 15 mins = 45 mins.
5. Solved.

CORRECT....
