Q 22

The hotel Bora-Bora is having a pig roast. At noon, the chef put the pig in a large earthen oven. The pig’s original temperature was 75°F. At 2:00 pm the chef checked  the pig’s temperature and was upset because it had reached only 100°F. If the oven’s temperature remains a constant 325°F, at what time may the hotel serve its guests, assuming that pork is done when it reaches 175°F?
