Love Candles
We have a collection of used candles; they are various lengths. For example, we could have candles that are eleven inches, eight inches and five inches. The candles burn at the rate of 1 in per minute. Let's say we can burn ONLY two candles at a time. How many minutes maximum can the lovers be in candlelight?
The answer is 12.
