Riddle for the Day:

One day you are in math with the rest of the class, ready to work on some of the different problems. The teacher decided to use an unconventional method to measure the time limit of fifteen minutes for the test. He worked with two hourglasses. One was seven minutes, and one was 11 minutes. During the whole time, he would only turn the sandglasses three times. One note here, if the teacher turns both of these at the same time, it would only count as one flip. Explain how the teacher was able to use these to help measure out 15 minutes.
