Free Standing Web(4Q3c) How long does it last?
1. Do you count the impulse that you fired it in? Where it has no effect, then the next 3 where it is in effect.
2. only when it is in effect. 4 impulses of it being working?

Hod got it completely correct: four impulses after it solidifies (for a total of five impulses).
The rule was changed for two reasons:
1) It was a mistake. It was always supposed to be 4 impulses, not 8. It is only supposed to last for half of a turn.
2) Leaving it at 8 impulses was heavily unbalancing. At 8 impulses, you could have a single web caster present and maintain a permanent wall.
Putting them together it was a mistake waiting for abuse. It needed to be fixed.
