Mary is trying to measure the length of a piece of rope. The rope is 13m long, but she does not know this exact measurement. She has access to 6 pieces of timber that are exactly:

8m, 8m, 3m, 3m, 1m and 1m in length.

What is the fewest number of measuring timbers she needs to use to measure the exact length of the rope?
