Introductory Egg Timers

[noreply]

I have two egg timers, one empties in four minutes, the other empties in ten minutes. How can I use them to measure exactly ten minutes?

Turn the 10 minute timer over and wait for it to run out.

Or maybe there is a typo in your question somewhere.

maybe you empty the seven minute and 3/4 of the other one?

On the fourth one let it be but on the ten one set it at 6.

Start 4, start 7 - both simultaneously
Flip, 3 minutes
1 minute, stop
Flip
Flip
Flip

[Mollar]

Start both 4 and 7 at the same time
let 4 finish
stop 7 after a minute
