The 9-minute Delicacy
Help Prasad to cook a certain delicacy in exactly 9 minutes to win the game. Provide a detailed strategy in the comment section.
Prasad played an online game on a social networking website where, according to the rules, he had to cook a certain delicacy in exactly 9 minutes – not a second more, not a second less. However, the game interface did not have any timer on it nor could he access the clock on his desktop as the game could be played in the “full-screen” mode, which could not be exited while the game was in progress. He thought he would cheat by looking at the clock in his house, but that didn’t help as his watch didn’t work. Also, he didn’t possess a wrist watch. So, he couldn’t use that either. However, the game interface provided him with a four-minute hourglass and a seven-minute hourglass. Using these, he has to cook the delicacy perfectly in order to win the game.
