You're given an array of numbers, and you want to find 3 numbers that sum to 0 and output those 3 numbers. You can use each number multiple times. So if you're given the array [-1, 1, 2], you would output [-1, -1, 2] because -1 -1 +2=0

You have two ropes of different lengths and made of different materials. If you burn either rope from end to end it will burn out in 60 mins. You can't touch the ropes. All you can do is light them on fire to burn out. How would you calculate 45 mins accurately by burning said ropes
