GAME: MindTrap

It was a warm summers evening when Sid Shady and Sam Sham robbed the till at the 'Soul-Ace Hotel'. Knowing the police were not far behind, they agreed it would be a 'colder trail' if they split the loot and parted company.

Sid Shady took the high road far up into the mountains and Sam Slug headed for the coast. The first morning on the run, they each woke with a craving for hardboiled eggs.

Since water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes, which of the two will get hardboiled eggs first?




__________
Sam Sham.
Water boils at 100 degrees Celcius at sea level, but the higher up you go the lower the boiling point. Therefore Shady's eggs will be boiling at a lower temperature, and consequently take longer to cook.

You don't need water to boil to denature the protein in the egg (ie cook it).... so both the same time :D

If Sids boils at a lower tempature - they will be cooking slower and take longer to finish.

You cannot add in the first weeks totals because she is a professional call girl.

(I threw this in to confuse the non-thinking Extra Terresterials who are competing in today's competition.)

Or, it could depend on which one woke up first and started cooking first, since the question says nothing about them starting to cook at the same time.

It happened in midtown Manhattan during the July 4th celebrations, that Sam Slug walked several kilometres from West 32nd street all the way to West 63rd street without seeing anyone or being seen by anyone.

It was a clear sunny day and he could see where he was going. He did not use any disguise or unusual method of transportation. Even though Manhattan was swarming with people not one person saw him.

How could this be possible?

He was walking through the city sewer system.

Well, to be honest, it's the probing and the bovine kidnapping that worries me about Deity.

His mind appears to be thinking quite clearly on all other topics. :p
