For my breakfast, I like an egg that has been boiled
for exactly 2 minutes. I have two egg timers, one that runs for
3 minutes and one that runs for 5 minutes. How can I use these
timers to boil my egg?

Bring the water to boil. Start both timers. As soon as the 3 minute timer goes off , put both the eggs in the water. As soon as the 5 minute timer goes off, stop boiling the eggs.

Put water in a pot and bring it to a boil. Then start the 2 timers at the same time. When the 3 min timer has run out put you egg into the boiling pot. That leaves egg-sactly 2 mins left on the 5 min timer...So you have ur perfect breakfast egg! lol

set both of the timers. wait for the 3 minute timer to go off, start boiling the eggs, then when the 5 minute timer goes off it will be 2 minutes. (5-3=2)

Start both timers the same time, when the three minute timer
goes off start your eggs because you have two minutes left on your 5 minute timer, when your 5 minute timer goes off you will have boiled your eggs for two minutes.

Set both timers. Once the 3 minute timer goes off, then start boiling your egg as you now have 2 minutes left until the 5 minute timer goes off. Easy as that.

start the timers simultaneously. when the 3 minute timer starts bleeping, keep your egg in the five minutes timer. make sure to wear a welding glouse while doing so.

how you like your egg to be, does not depends on the timer, but the temperatureo of the water. 'tip'
