You are given two ropes with different lengths. However if you set both ropes of fire from the tip, they will both burn at exactly one hour.
You are asked to measure 45 minutes using just these two ropes and you and NOT allowed to cut the ropes at all.
How will you do this?
1. Burn one of the ropes from both ends. The rope will burn completely at half time (i.e. 30 minutes).
2. Also burn the other rope from one end at the same time. At the time rope #1 completely burns, rope #2 will be half length. That is, it now has 30 minutes left to burn.
3. Immediately set the other side of rope #2 on fire too. It will burn at half the time left (i.e. 15 minutes).
4. Let rope #2 burn completely too.
You have successfully measured 30minutes + 15 minutes = 45 minutes.

Telegram has made it easier for its users to communicate, as it has introduced a feature that allows more than 200,000 users in a group chat. However, if the users in a group chat move past 200,000, it changes into "Broadcast Group", but the feature comes with a restriction. Groups with close to 200k members can be converted to a Broadcast Group that allows unlimited members. Only admins can post in Broadcast Groups, but everyone can read along and participate in group Voice Chats," Telegram added.
The S&P 500 slumped 1.8% on Monday and Tuesday, thanks to China Evergrande, the Chinese property company that looks like it is ready to default on its more-than $300 billion in debt. Cries of the next Lehman Brothers—or maybe the next Silverado?—echoed through the canyons of Wall Street as investors prepared for the worst.
