Riddle:
You want to boil a two-minute egg. If you only have a three-minute timer (hourglass), a four-minute timer, and a five-minute timer, how can you boil the egg for only two minutes?
Answer: Once the water is boiling, turn the three-minute timer and five-minute timer over. When the three-minute timer runs out, put the egg in the boiling water. When the five-minute timer runs out, two minutes have elapsed and it is time to take the egg out of the water. You don't need the four-minute timer for this riddle.

Riddle:
Tomorrow Is Neither Wednesday Nor Thursday. Yesterday Was Not Friday Or Saturday. Today Is Not Thursday Nor Monday Nor Sunday. What Day Is Today?
Answer: Friday.
Answer Explained: The riddle’s answer is Friday because it is the only day that satisfies all three conditions: tomorrow (Saturday) is not Wednesday or Thursday, yesterday (Thursday) is not Friday or Saturday, and today (Friday) is not Thursday, Monday, or Sunday. This is derived by systematically evaluating each possible day of the week against the riddle’s constraints, ruling out all days except Friday through logical elimination.
