Fuses

In front of you are several long fuses. You know they burn for exactly one hour after you light them at one end. The entire fuse does not necessarily burn at a constant speed. For example, it might take five minutes to burn through half the fuse and fifty-five minutes to burn the other half. 

With your lighter and using these fuses, How can you measure exactly three-quarters of an hour of time?

Watch this space for answer in a week.
