First degree is a a thin burn like when you barely touch your finger on a straightener or curling iron. Second degree is a little more serious and you get that when you burn your hand or something on a flame. And third degree are bad burns that you can get all over and you bleed and you have burns all over... my uncle lost his arm in a third degree burn when he was around my age (13) by accidentally touching a low power line that was by the pool.

If you have 2 candles Every candle lights for 60 minutes If you have to find the way to measure 45 minutes?
Start first candle from one side burning and second candle from two side burning. So second candle will take 30 min to finish. When second candle finished make first candle also to burn from both side. So now remaining of first candle will take more 15 min to finished. So total life of burning of fist candle is 45 mins.
If 2 pieces of string take 1 hour to burn how do you know when 3 quarters of an hour is up?
"First, you light both ends of one of the strings until it burns out. Then you light the second string on both ends and in the exact middle. The first string will take exactly 30 minutes to burn and the second one will take 15" I agree with the first part. If the string does not burn evenly, it will take 30 mins for both lit ends to meet. If not, then one would take longer than the other to meet which is impossible. Hence 30 minutes are up once the 1st string is gone. Now consider simply lighting the 2nd string in the middle... Who's to say that THAT particular half of the string does not simply burn up in 1 min and the other remaining half in 29mins? To conduct this accurately, one would need four lighters and triggers to set them off. Set alight to both ends of string number 1 whilst simultaneously setting alight one end of string number 2. Once the first string has burnt out after exactly 30 minutes, you know that there is '30 mins of string left' on string 2. Hence, one can apply procedure 1 onto the second string by lighting the unlit end, and the time it would take for both ends to meet is exactly half of 30, i.e. 15 mins, as explained above. Add the two together, hey presto!
