One answer and two winners
Here’s the “official” answer to last week’s brainteaser, though there seem to be multiple, correct solutions. To start, flip both hourglasses over and put the egg in the water. When the four minute hourglass runs out, flip it back over immediately. When the seven minute hourglass runs out, flip that back over immediately too. One minute later, the four minute hourglass will run out again. At this point, flip the seven minute hourglass back over. The seven minute hourglass had only been running for a minute, so when it is flipped over again it will only run for a minute more before running out. When it does, exactly nine minutes will have passed, and the egg is done. Engineering Undeclared freshman Ahmad Namvargolian got it right first! And the winner of the twice-a-semester drawing is EECS graduate student Percy Liang. Liang’s name was randomly drawn from all the brainteaser winners, and he receives two free movie tickets courtesy of Engineering Alumni Relations. Stay tuned for next week’s brainteaser.
