Cook the egg for 15 minutes
We can follow these steps.
Steps to measure 15 minutes
- Light Rope #1 from both ends.
- At the same time light Rope #2 from one end.
- When Rope #1 burns fully, it will be 30 minutes and Rope #2 will take 30 more minutes to burn, light the other end of Rope #2 at this time, thus it will take 15 minutes to burn.
- Start cooking your egg at the same point.
- Stop cooking when Rope #2 burns fully.
You don’t even need two ropes.
Just have one rope.
Fold it into half.
And Light it from both the ends simultaneously!
It will take fifteen minutes for the rope to burn.
