If you could chose to increase the average fuel economy of a car, which of these would save the most fuel?
1. 10mpg -> 12mpg 2. 12mpg -> 15mpg 3. 15mpg -> 20mpg 4. 20mpg -> 30mpg 5. 30mpg -> 60mpg
It turns out they all save the same amount of fuel.
If you travel 100 miles:
100 / 10 = 10 gallons used 100 / 12 = 8 1/3 gallons used
10 – 8 1/3 = 1 2/3 gallons saved
100 / 30 = 3 1/3 gallons used 100 / 60 = 1 2/3 gallons used
3 1/3 – 1 2/3 = 1 2/3 gallons saved

You are a cook in a remote area with no clocks or other way of keeping time other than a four-minute and a seven-minute hourglass. On the stove is a pot of boiling water. Jill asks you to cook a nine-minute egg in exactly 9 minutes, and you know she is a perfectionist and can tell if you under cook or overcook the egg by even a few seconds. How can you cook the egg for exactly 9 minutes?
1. Flip both hourglasses over and drop the egg into the water. 2. When the 4-minute timer runs out, flip it over (4 minutes elapsed, 3 remaining on the 7-minute timer). 3. When the 7-minute timer runs out, flip it over. (7 minutes elapsed, 1 remaining in the 4-minute timer) 4. When the 4-minute timer runs out, flip the 7-minute timer over. (8 minutes elapsed. 6 minutes remained in the 7-minute timer, but flipping it over leaves one minute’s worth of sand on top. When it runs out exactly nine minutes will have elapsed.)
