upon an old alpine cabin. I got inside and found many things.

There's an interplanetary war and the invading alien army has
sent deadly gamma rays towards the earth. Your only protection
is to get a sunlamp coating of exactly 15 minutes. If you stay
under too long, you'll shrivel up; too little and it won't protect
you. The problem is the earth has long since abandoned keeping time
and there are no watches or clocks. The only time devices are a
7-minute and 11-minute egg timer. Using only these egg timers, you
have to figure out how to stay under the lamp for 15 minutes.
But the gamma rays are already on their way and will hit the
earth in 20 minutes. What will you do?
