Look, forget about the 7 for a second. You are saying let the 11 minute run all the way.That's 11 minutes.
Now you are saying flip the 11 minutes over. That's 11 + 11, which equals 22 minutes.
Damn.
NO YOU ****TARD!!!
When the seven minute one runs out, THERE WILL BE FOUR MINUTES LEFT ON THE ELEVEN MINUTE ONE SINCE ELEVEN MINUS SEVEN IS FOUR! Then you flip the eleven immediately, and get eleven minutes to add onto the four.

Okay, so here we go, step by step.
You go 7 minutes. Then you flip over the hourglass. Now that the sand is going the opposite direction, this will last 7 minutes, since there was 4 minutes left of sand previously.
7 + 7 = 14.
Do you not know how an hourglass works? When you go 7 minutes, there will be 4 minutes worth of sand left in the 11 minute glass. When you flip it over, since 11 - 4 = 7, the sand will last 7 minutes.
Now, you've already gone 7 minutes, and now you've waited an additional 7 minutes.
7 + 7 = 14. If you can't understand that, you are certainly under 13 and should be banned from KMC. 😐

You are retarded. Absolutely, retarded.😐
Listen to me:
You flip over both hourglasses.
When the seven one runs out, there will be four minutes left in the eleven minute hourglass.
That is the point at which you begin to measure time.
When that runs out, four minutes will have passed.
Immediately re-flip it, and let it empty.
That is an additional eleven minutes.
Four minutes, with the addition of eleven minutes, equals fifteen minutes.

So are you saying you aren't counting the 7 minutes that have already passed?
You never clarified, if that's what you meant.

Start both at the same time. - 0 min.7 minute hour glass runs out
(restart 7 minute hour glass by turning it over) - 7 min.11 minute hour glass runs out 4 minutes later
(turn over 7 minute hour glass again) - 11 min.7 minute hour glass runs out 4 minutes later - 15 min.
Yeah, that was my solution, as well.
Start both at the same time. - 0 min.
7 minute hour glass runs out
(restart 7 minute hour glass by turning it over) - 7 min.
11 minute hour glass runs out 4 minutes later
(turn over 7 minute hour glass again) - 11 min.
7 minute hour glass runs out 4 minutes later - 15 min.
One problem, it would run out 3 minutes later.

This is the answer.

No no ; you turn them both when the 11 minute one has run out cause 7 hour g;ass has another 4 left when you flip it.
So 11+4=15

Actually, since it was a trick question, I thought kind of out of the box.
I said, if you emptied the 7 minute hourglass, and filled it as much as you could with the sand from the 11 minute hour glass, you would then have an 4 minute hourglass and a 7 minute hour glass. Flip over the 7 minute, flip over the 4 minute, and flip over the 4 minute again.
That was my creative solution. 😉
