Does the lighter have enough fuel for percisely 45 minutes?

I bundle the sticks together to signify that op is indeed a faggot.
Are the sticks identical? I mean, the burning rate varies equally in both sticks?

If I ignite the lighter, does it go out after 45 minutes?

Nope

Can't answer.
Not enough info.

Sticks @----# and $----%.
Put on fire @, # and $. When stick @----# is fully burnt, put on fire %. Wait till everything's burnt.
But more importantly, what does it have to do with technology?

this, for all we know they could both burn the first 1 mm for an hour minus 10 milliseconds, then explode

Well, if you don't need a precise answer...
Draw a line on the ground, which equals to the length of the stick. Partition it by four equal parts. Place both sticks nearby and light both of them. Assuming those sticks won't burn at the identical rate, you can say it's about 45 minutes when the 'average' fire will hit the 3rd mark.
The only thing knowing the answer proves is that you read Cracking the Coding Interview desu

How about the person asking such a questions does the world a favour and burns themselves.

Is it really so inconceivable to you that many people are able to solve this quite easily by themselves?
