Solution to the "114 Rope Puzzle" — Need Details

There is no universally known puzzle called the "114 Rope Puzzle." To solve it, I need the exact rules.

Please Provide:

  • Source: Book, game, video, interview, competition (e.g., Microsoft, Google, Jane Street)?
  • Setup: Number of ropes, lengths, burn rates, knots, cuts allowed?
  • Goal: Measure a specific time? Create a shape? Untangle? Cut into pieces?
  • Constraints: Can you light ends? Cut? Tie? Fold? Use a timer?

Classic Rope-Burning Puzzle (For Reference)

"You have two ropes that each burn in exactly 1 hour (non-uniformly). Measure 45 minutes."

Solution: Light Rope A at both ends + Rope B at one end. When A finishes (30 min), light B's other end. B burns remaining 30 min in 15 min → Total 45 min.

If your puzzle is a variant (e.g., 114 minutes, 3 ropes, different burn times), share the exact wording and I'll solve it step-by-step.
