1. Burn the candle from both sides.
2. While step 1 is executing start burning candle 2 at the same time. As soon as the candle 1 is completely burnt we will get to know that 30 minutes have been passed. Now burn the second candle from both sides. You will get to measure 15 minutes when it ends.
Good quiz btw
