Logic problem

You have two hourglasses, one measures 7 minutes and the other measures 4 minutes, now you want to measure 9 minutes, how do you do it?
Hehehe... Lots of free time and hourglass rolling on your screen... My latest article: GBVB - Converting VB.NET code to C#

I can't - but Heidi Hamilton can - "a beautiful, blonde bomb shell with an 8-inch tongue". She is a Los Angeles radio "on air personality". Recently had a tongue-off with Kiss's Gene Simmons and won...here is the competition[^] Steve

When the 4 minute hourglass is halfway down, flip the 7 minute hourglass. Did I miss a better solution? -Nick Parker

Nice article Daniel, although your link didn't work, I found it here: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/GBVB.asp[^] I'm a VB.NET programmer, what I'd really like to see is a conversion / comparison chart of VB.NET versus C# I often find nice examples of things I need to do, but the code is in C#, and I have difficulty converting it to VB.NET! Things like, where to put the 'inherits' keyword, how to declare constructors, how 'namespace' is used in VB.NET, the structure of classes in VB.NET versus C#, how to declare functions/subs and parameters/return values in C# versus VB.NET I always get caught out by the 'reverse' way of declaring types in VB versus C++, e.g. in VB.NET you can say Dim myStr as String, in C# it's something like String myStr; (the other way around!) Okay, that's enough... I don't want to start a programming thread in the Lounge!... :-O John. www.silveronion.com[^]

Get 7 min and 4 min hourglass going. When the 4 min hourglass has ran out flip it over (we marked 4 min). When the 7 min hourglass has ran out flip over the 7 min hourglass (we no have a 7 min mark). Bear in mind that the 4 min hourglass will still run for another 1 min. When the 4 min hour glass has finnally run out flip 7 min hour glass at this instant (we marked 8 min). At this point the 7 min hourglass has only run for 1 min and by flipping it over again we will have it run out in exactly 1 min. Hence, the 8 + 1 = 9 min. Problem solved. Happy Coding :) Marat Kagetsya dogd' nashinaetsya :)
