    second one,

    0/4 and 0/7 to start
    start, 4/4 and 4/7 after 4
    flip 4, 0/4 and 4/7
    3/4 and 7/7 after 3
    flip, 1/4 and 0/7
    4/4 and 3/7 after 3
    flip 7, 4/4 and 4/7
    4/4 and 7/7 after 3
    3+3+3=9

    not 4 + 4 + 4. 1 + 4 + 4 is what i said there is only 1 minute left on the 4 minute glass when the 7 minute one ends and all you have to do is after that one minute is done just flip the 4 minute one 2 more times like i said in the orignal post. I know my grammar sucked on my original pst but is what it was suoppose to say.

    @lordkerwyn
    actualy if you start mesuring time after the 7 minute goes out it would be a way to measure 9 minutes but thats tooo many flips, say you gotta measure it quick. like when you flip over the first hourglass.

    not the answer im looking for but because it could work i will award you 100 minerals

    when i use a fraction, it refers to how much is on the bottom. 3/4 on bottom means 1/4 on top. flip it over and you have 1/4 on bottom with 3/4 on top

    hmm urs makes the same sense as lord kerwyns and because i didnt clarafy ill give you 100 minerals also.

    but from now on i want the answer to be mesurable from the time you flip the first hourglass for full award.

    start both glasses when the 4 is done flip it ( 4 minutes in) and when the 7 is done flip ( 7 minutes in) and when the second flip on the 4 finishes 1 minute (8 minutes in) later reflip the 7 which only have 1 minute to put back (9 minutes) 4 + 4+ 1 = 9
