“Abba, when is the air conditioner turning off tonight,” asked Miriam at the Friday night seuda.
“Before Shabbos, I set the pegs on the timer to turn off the air conditioner at 9:00 PM tonight,” answered Abba.
“Oh...I wish it would go on until 10 o’clock,” sighed Miriam, “Because I’ll go to bed at 9:30 tonight and I like falling asleep when it is cool in the house.”
Miriam’s brother Aaron turned to Abba and asked, “Maybe it’s okay to push now the pegs that are between 9 and 10 o’clock, to let the air conditioner keep on working until 10, because when we’ll push the pegs we won’t be turning anything on or off.”
“Hmm...I hear your point, Aaron,” replied Abba, “But I am not sure...”
Question: Can Abba push the pegs of the timer now to let the air conditioner run until 10 o’clock?
