Myr's "Math Problem of the Week":

You are shipwrecked and captured by cannibals. Two hourglasses are given to you. One measures exactly four minutes, the other exactly seven minutes. The chief of the cannibals says you must tell when exactly nine minutes have passed. If you can do this, you may go free. If you can't -- you're dinner. The chief yells, "Start now!"

What do you do?

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In March I helped mosestaff hide a body (-173 points). In August I broke kitap's X-Box (-12 points). Last Friday finabair and I ruled Iran as cruel and heartless dictators (-700 points). In September oghram and I robbed a bank (-50 points). In October I committed genocide... Sorry about that, rbonke (-5000 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-5941 points). For Christmas I deserve a moldy sandwich! Sincerely, partly

Personally, I don't think hiding a body should be negative points.

I tried many times and kept getting naughty. It's just not right.
