Ahhh, it's a half-life kind of thing; 60, 30, 15.

>>1. There are two fuses of any length.
>>2. Each fuse burns exactly 1 hour.
>>3. The fuses do not burn evenly. For example 1/10 of the fuse could take 1/2 an hour and the remaining 9/10ths could take 1/2 an hour.
>>
>>4. You must, using both fuses, come up with a way to find a 15 minute interval.
