How many minutes minimum to fry 5 eggs?

It takes at least 10 minutes to fry 5 eggs.

According to the question, 2 eggs can be fried in the pan at a time,

Each egg is fried on both sides, which is 2 minutes on each side,

So in order to save time, frying 2 eggs at a time and start frying them at the same time, then the time taken to fry the 2 eggs is also 2*2=4 minutes.

The remaining three eggs first 2 eggs at the same time in the pan, 2 minutes, will be one of them up, the other turned over, at the same time, and then put the third egg;

and then branding frying 2 minutes after the first put the egg can be out of the pan, the last put the egg turned over, at the same time will be held up the egg turned over and put down; after 2 minutes after the three eggs are all fried.

The time it took to fry the three eggs was 2+2+2=6 minutes,

so the total time for frying the five eggs was 4+6=10 minutes.

Extended information:

This type of problem belongs to the pancake problem in math, and the formula for the pancake problem is:

Total time = number of pancakes x 2 ÷ number of cookable sides per pan x time to cook each side Number of pans x time to cook each side

When the time does not add up to an integer, an approximation is made by rounding up to the nearest whole number.

For example, if the number of pancakes is 4, the number of sheets in each pot is 3, and each side is cooked for 2 minutes, according to the formula, 4 × 2 ÷ 3 × 2 ≈ 6 minutes

When only two pancakes can be cooked in one pot: the total time = the time for one side of the pancake × number of sheets
