Riddle

Running before I get hit with rotten eggs, lol.



The boiling egg



The boiling egg


Suppose you want to cook an egg for exactly 3 minutes. You have only a 5 minute hourglass timer and a 2 minute hourglass timer. Using these 2 timers, how can you boil the egg for exactly 3 minutes?

Start both timers.  When the 2 minute timer is up, boil the eggs.  3 minutes are left on the 5 minute timer.
