Today’s Question - Little Staten Island House on the Prairie – In honor of St. Joseph’s Day - sort of. Sal, brother Al and sister Val show up at Nino's sharpeners. Nino's two nephews are on duty. They both work at exactly the same pace. Sal, Al and Val each need one hacksaw sharpened and one "penknife" sharpened. If it takes 15 minutes to sharpen one hacksaw and 5 minutes to sharpen one "penknife"; what is the best division of labor for the nephews to choose? We take this opportunity to wish you - A Happy St. Joseph's Day. And, if those of you blessed with Italian ancestry don't mind, the rest of us may share a sfingi or a cannoli or (In my old maybe even a neighborhood celebrants would contend that "Devil Dogs" were the Irish cannoli.) zeppole. some Buona Festa Di San Giuseppe!

Reveal Answer Answer - The fastest way for the nephews to finish would be to have one sharpen two hacksaws while the other sharpened one hacksaw and three "penknives". (Elapsed time: 30 minutes.)
