\problem{}
|

|
|
Suppose we have two strings and a lighter. Each string takes an hour to fully burn. \par
|
||
|
|
However, we do not know how fast each part of the string burns:
|
||
|
|
half might burn in 1 minute, and the rest could take 59.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
How would we measure exactly 45 minutes using these strings?
