We see the same side of the Moon because Moon's period of Revolution around the Earth is same as its period of Rotation on its Axis.. viz 27 days!!

Re: Brain Teasers
with a nine-, eleven- and fourteen-minute hourglass, can you time the boiling of an egg for 7 mins?
Yes! We don't even need the Fourteen-minute hourglass!
Start the nine- and eleven-minute hourglasses simultaneously. Invert the nine-minute hourglass as soon as its sand has displaced completely and then invert it again as soon as the sand in the eleven-minute hourglass has displaced and start boiling the egg! When the sand in the nine-minute hourglass gets exhausted, you'll have boiled the egg for seven minutes!!
