Problem

You find yourself trapped in a dark cave with a box of matches and two sticks. Each stick will take exactly 60 minutes to fully burn\nwhen one end is lit. However, the sticks burn at irregular rates (one half might burn in 50 minutes while the other half burns in 10 minutes).

How can you use these supplies to measure 45 minutes?
