My immigration process to Canada - It's over!

I'm here to declare that I've finally got my immigration passport to Québec, Canada!!!
Four years have passed since the beginning, many things have changed in my life and today I'm still in the process of deciding whether I should stay or I should go...

Brain teaser 23 (solution)

Simultaneously light both ends of one rope and one end of the other; when the first rope burns out (after half a minute), light the other end of the second. When it finishes, 45 seconds have passed.

All Saints - Black Coffee (lyrics)

I'm just recollecting those golden years in Netherlands circa 2000/2002 and would suggest this lovely British pop band:

Lyrics
Night Swimming
Beach walking
Always silent
Never talking
Then you call my name
And I know inside I love you
.
Sail away
I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating
.
Each moment is new
And breeds a moment
Each moment is cool
And breeds a moment
.
I wouldn't wanna be
Anywhere else but... here
I wouldn't wanna change
Anything at all
.
I wouldn't wanna take
Everything out on... you
Though I know I do
Everytime I fall
.
Day dreaming
Chain smoking
Always laughin
Always jokin
I remain the same
Did I tell you that I love you
.
Brush your teeth
And pour a cup of black coffee out
I love to watch you do that every day
The little things that you do
.
Each moment is new
And breeds a moment
Each moment is cool
And breeds a moment
.
I wouldn't wanna be
Anywhere else but... here
I wouldn't wanna change
Anything at all
.
I wouldn't wanna take
Everything out on... you
Though I know I do
Everytime I fall
.
Each moment is cool
And breeds a moment
.
I wouldn't wanna be
Anywhere else but... here
I wouldn't wanna change
Anything at all
.
I wouldn't wanna take
Everything out on... you
Though I know I do
Everytime I fall
.
I wouldn't wanna be
Anywhere else but... here
I wouldn't wanna change
Anything at all
.
I wouldn't wanna take
Everything out on... you
Though I know I do
Everytime I fall
.
Nice women
Beach walking
Always silent
Never talking
Then you call my name
And I know inside I love you
.
Sail away
I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating
.

Lyrics

Toda vez que eu olho...
Toda vez que eu chamo...
Toda vez que eu penso...
Em lhe dar o meu amor...
Meu coração... (pensa que não vai ser possível)
De lhe encontrar... (pensa que não vai ser possível)
De lhe amar... (pensa que não vai ser possível)
De conquistá-la...

Eu amo você, menina...
Eu amo você...
Eu amo você, menina...
Eu amo você...

Toda vez que eu olho...
Toda vez que eu chamo...
Toda vez que eu penso...
Em lhe dar o meu amor...
Meu coração... (pensa que não vai ser possível)
De lhe encontrar... (pensa que não vai ser possível)
De lhe amar... (pensa que não vai ser possível)
De conquistá-la...
.
Eu amo você, menina..
Eu amo você... (juro)
Eu amo você, menina...(uuuhuuuu)
Eu amo você...

Brain teaser 22 (solution)

Go to the attic, turn on Switches 1 and 2, wait a few minutes, then turn off Switch 2 before ascending to the attic.
If the bulb is on, you conclude that Switch 1 is the winner.
If the bulb is off, but warm, you conclude that Switch 2 is the winner.
If the bulb is off, but not warm, you conclude that Switch 3 is the winner.

Brain teaser 23

You are presented with two ropes, each of which will burn for exactly 1 minute, but not uniformly along its length. How can you use them to measure 45 seconds?
Explain your strategy.
