unreality Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Mother makes tasty toast in a small pan. After toasting one side of a slice, she turns it over. Each side takes 30 seconds. The pan can only hold two slices. How can she toast both sides of three slices in 1 & 1/2 instead of 2 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put the 1st and 2nd slice on at the same time, after 30 seconds you flip the 1st slice, and then swap the 2nd slice with the 3rd, wait 30 seconds, take of the 1st slice, flip the 3rd slice, and then put on the 2nd slice, and then you have all the slices toasted in a minute and a half ( or you could buy a bigger pan ) Edited April 1, 2019 by Pizza time Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
