The solution was elegant and I liked it of course from a logic standpoint. That said, the assumption that one end to the other is thirty and yet both ends yields fifteen is not only questionable but actually unlikely from a materials science point of view. Stuff doesn't really burn like that and all.
Could you please clarify? + Show Spoiler +
Do you mean that burning A->B doesn't equal the same time as burning B->A? Then yes, I agree, but for some reason I assume if it burns in one direction for some time, then it burns in the other direction for the same amount of time. Which if it's true means burning from both sides simultaneously should lead to exactly half the time.

Same setup as the Day[9] string riddle, except now the question is:

How can you measure 15 minutes? (Preferably without wasting any time sitting around)

+ Show Spoiler +

Light one string from both ends, and any point in between. The trick is to keep the one string burning at 4 points at all times, so it will take 1/4 as long to burn up.

For simplicity's sake, I'll assume you start your in-between-fire in the middle.
If it burns evenly, both string halves will finish at the same time--in 15 minutes.
If it doesn't burn evenly, when one half finishes burning immediately light the other half in the middle. Repeat as necessary.

As a bonus, you get to keep one of the strings!
Nice one, thanks. + Show Spoiler +
I used repeated "cutting" in my description, but essentially the same idea: always cut the remaining string in two pieces and burn them from both sides, and when just one string remains, repeat. It's a little bit cheating though, because similar to Zeno's paradoxes, there's hidden infinity, which means in practice we may not be exactly precise, but also in practice it won't matter.
The original answer already showed a way to measure 15 minutes, because it was a two step process of first measuring 30min, then 15 more. It's the same process, but ignore the first 30minutes.
You probably didn't notice that the second question required also to minimize the amount of idle time. Otherwise, yes.
If you stand next to my head, you can hear the ocean. - Day[9]

No, I don't think it's that. He's just trying too hard. And his funny misfires most of the time. The exaggerated voices, the over-animated facial expressions, the funny voices, the bursting out laughing... damn that's shit's just embarrassing (like what he's doing RIGHT NOW).

(I feel justified making this post, because Husky & HD are complained about so much on this forum, while Day9 is treated like a saint who can do no wrong.)

Sean, will you be casting at the IEM @ ComicCon NYC?
Those who know how to think need no teachers. Tasteless - I think I'll take my shirt off and let my muscles do the casting

Several days back I watched the 2nd replay he casted for #173, the one on Metalopolis with an inexplicable lack of early scouting and aggression which Day lamented. I believe I found it on sc2rep.net.

Yup exactly what I think as well. If you don't like him then don't watch its why I don't watch HD or Husky ^^.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Does anyone else pretend Day[9] is casting the game you're currently playing?

I always hear Day[9] in my head say I'm doing a very normal build or that I'm making a good decision while I'm playing.

Yeah I know, i think it was perhaps a just for fun/exploring the tech tree kind of game.

I recall watching and being like "Omg, Mystic is going to die any minute now..." then going over to Chita's base and thinking the same thing, then just realizing neither of them had any units.

I can't think of any other reason the game could possibly be so lacking of... everything for like ten minutes.
