You guys have 2 strings.

You know that one string burns in 1 hour. The string burns irregulary.
How do you isolate (in time) fifteen minutes?

No cheating guys...

Is it that simple? Just wait 15 minutes and extinguish it?

Is it possible, then? For all we know the string could burn 99% during the first 5 seconds and then just burn reeeeally slowly for the rest of the hour.

It's possible and the solution is really smart. I cheated so I won't post it, hahaha

Are the both strings identical? Do they burn the same?
