Hmmmmmm seems awfully close to the answer on google..... ah wth ill give that one to you :]

When the first servant comes in, the king should write down his number. For each other servant that reports in, the king should add that servant's number to the current number written on the paper, and then write this new number on the paper.

Once the final servant has reported in, the number on the paper should equal

* (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 99 + 100) - MissingServantsNumber

Since (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 99 + 100) = 5050, we can rephrase this to say that the number on the paper should equal

* 5050 - MissingServantsNumber

So to figure out the missing servant's number, the king simply needs to subtract the number written on his paper from 5050:

* MissingServantsNumber = 5050 - NumberWrittenOnThePaper

Nice copy & paste

When the first servant comes in, the king should write down his number. For each servant that reports in, the king should add that servant's number to the current number total. Once the final servant has reported in, the number on the paper should equal

1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 99 + 100) - Missing Servant's Number.

If they had all shown up it would have been 5050, since 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 99 + 100 = 5050.

So to get the number of the missing servant just subtract the number that is on the paper from 5050.

5050 - Amount On Paper = Missing Servant's Number.

4 : 3 Invert #1
1 : 0 After 3 min
1 : 7 Invert #2 and start cooking egg

Can you give me rep for the last riddle i won

4 Min 7 Min
After 4 Min
Empty 3 Min remains
Reverse 1st glass
4 Min Remains 3 Min remains
After 3 Min
1 Min remains 0 Min remains
Reverse 2nd glass
1 Min remains 7 Min remains
After 1 Min
0 Min remains 6 Min remains
Reverse 1st glass
4 Min remains 6 Min remains
After 4 Mins
0 Min remains 2 Min remains

Now we can measure exactly 2 minutes when 2nd glass is empty.

Flip over both hourglasses at the same time.
This is a reaalllllllly long answer so here you go: After 4 minutes, the 4-minute hourglass will be done, and there will be 3 minutes left in the 7-minute hourglass. Immediately flip the 4-minute hourglass over again.
After 3 more minutes, the 7-minute hourglass will be done, and there will be exactly 1 minute left in the 4-minute hourglass. Immediately flip the 7-minute hourglass over again.
After 1 more minute, the 4-minute hourglass will be done again, and there will be exactly 6 minutes left in the 7-minute hourglass. Immediately flip over the 4-minute hourglass.
After 4 more minutes, the 4-minute hourglass will be done again, and there will be exactly 2 minutes left in the 7-minute hourglass. At this point, put your egg in the boiling water. When the 7-minute hourglass is done, it will have been exactly 2 more minutes, and your egg will have boiled just right
