How Many People Does It Take To Cook an Egg?

It's Friday, which makes me incredibly happy.  Not only is the weekend officially here, but it is time for the problem of the week as well.  After thinking about which torturous math problem I would send your way, I decided on this one.  It does require a lot of thinking, but not really any math skills, so this one would be fair game for anyone really.

Here it is:

How can you cook an egg for exactly 15 minutes, if all you have is a 7-minute hourglass and an 11-minute hourglass?


Feel free to post your answer in the comment section below.  I will post the answer on Sunday.  Happy Thinking and Good Luck!

Sincerely,
The Math Freak
