Timer Calculation....

Hi Friends,

For his breakfast, Mr.John likes an egg that has been boiled for exactly 2 minutes.

He has two egg timers, one that runs for 3 minutes and one that runs for 5 minutes.

Then....
How can he use these timers to boil his egg?

Regards,
Riju.

Re: Timer Calculation....

Hi Guys,

Here is the solution...

Set them both going at the same time, when the 3 minute timer runs out he puts his egg into the pan, when the 5 minute timer runs out, the egg is cooked.

Regards,
Riju.
