8.
You have 2 ropes and a lighter.
This is the only equipment you can use.
The ropes have the following properties: if you light one end of the rope, it will take exactly 1 hour to burn all the way to the other end. But it doesn't have to burn at a uniform rate. In other words, half the rope may burn in the first 5 minutes, and then the other half would take 55 minutes. The rate at which the 2 ropes burn is not necessarily the same, so the 2nd rope will also take 1 hour to burn from one end to the other, but may do it at some varying rate, which is not necessarily the same as the one for the first rope.
Measure 45 minutes.

How will you win?
