We asked you to solve a riddle yesterday about how a mother could brown 3 toasts within 1 and a half minutes.

Well if you have been waiting for the answer, read below…

“She puts two slices in the pan; after 30 seconds she has toasted one side of each. She turns over the first slice, takes the second from the pan, and in its place puts the third slice. After the second half minute the first slice is done and the other two are half done. In the last 30 seconds she finishes the second and third slices. ”

Today’s riddle is…
“A Mother makes tasty toast in a small pan. After toasting one side of a slice, she turns it over. Each side takes 30 seconds. The pan can only hold two slices. How can she toast both sides of three slices in 1 & 1/2 instead of 2 minutes?”

(Post your answer in the comments section OR stay tuned for the answer in a future post)
