Can You Make Mine Well Done?
Bubba invited Beavis and Butthead to his house for a barbeque. Since Bubba's barbeque is only capable of handling two hamburgers at once, he wonders how he can cook three hamburgers at once, he wonders how he can cook three hamburgers in the shortest amount of time. It takes five minutes fro each side of a burger to cook. Therefore, in ten minutes two will be cooked, and another ten minutes will be needed to cook the third burger. Butthead says all three can be cooked i just 15 minutes. How?

Okay so the first 5 minutes you cook side a of Burger 1 & 2, next 5 minutes you cook side a of burger 3 and side b of burger 1 (1st burger is done). The last 5 minutes are cooking side b of burger 2 & 3.
