DH always does the boiled eggs in our house.
I am ashamed to say I can't boil eggs, even after watching Delia's Basic Cookery course.
I can, of course, hardboil them for salads and sandwiches.

Back later, have to dig out some weeds. I will have a think while I dig!

Bathsheba, that would be good, after all we don't want people copying!

I just tell Alexa to set the timer for 9 minutes. Much easier.

Bathsheba Wed 15-Apr-20 10:06:34

I think I know how to do it Miss! Shall I post my explanation later?

We’ve got one of those new fangled timers on our oven Miss so we don’t really need to use egg timers . We’re posh in our house.

Yes Miss! She made me do it......grin

Pantglas, I can assure you, I have a very good aim. I blame that Doodle, she is responsible for the anarchy in this class!

Good morning all you eggceptional mathematicians, here is today's puzzle.
If you click on the image, it will be easier to see.

How can you boil an egg for exactly nine minutes with only a 4-minute hourglass and a 7-minute hourglass to measure the time?
