Toy Workshop
mediumYou own a toy-making studio
with two employees.

Carving a toy takes two hours. Painting one takes
one hour. Packaging one takes one hour.
You can’t paint a toy until it has been carved. Similarly,
you can’t package one until it has been painted.
Both of your employees are capable of doing any
of the three tasks, but they can’t both work on the
same task for the same toy at the same time.
What is the lowest number of hours it would take
your employees to carve, paint, and package
three toys?
