Breaker breaker

So here is a word problem for you... fail and the power will go out in your house...
... The washing machine and the oven can never be on at the same time...
... The oven and the dishwasher can be on at the same time, as long as it's the oven and only one burner on at one time...
... The space heater has two switches... if both switches are on then nothing else can be on...
... The washing machine and the dishwasher can be on at the same time, as long as the washing machine is not on spin cycle...
... If one switch is on for the space heater then up to two other appliances can be on... except only the burner OR the oven can be on... not both... AND as long as the TV is also not on...
... The washing machine switches to spin cycle 15 minutes after it's been on and lasts for about 7 minutes...
... It's 16 degrees inside... it has to get up to 20...
... You have 2 loads of laundry to do...
... You must make supper... baked fish and mashed potatoes...
... You have no clean forks or plates...
... You have 3 hours to get everything done...
... GO...

my electrician of a husband would cringe at this predicament.
