ok i you have two sandglass timers - one times 4mins and the other times 7 minutes - its not possible to accurately gauge the amount of sand/time in each glass(by eye) how can you time a 9 minute period??

[Neils TDi again]

Start both when the 4 runs out turn the 4 over elapsed time = 4 mins

when the 7 runs out turn both over again elapsed time = 7mins (the 4 has run for 3 mins.)

when the 4 runs out turn them both over again elapsed time =8 mins

when the seven runs out elapsed time=9 mins

 

there you go.

done.

:lol:
