If a hen and a half lays an egg and a half in a day and a half how many days will it take her to lay 6 eggs .

I'm going to guess it will take that 1 hen six days to lay six eggs. Will take a hen and a half four days. :?:

I came up with 12 days

 

[larryshoat]

No, but Jo's starting to think about it in the right way .

Ok, I'll go with 9 days.

Hen lays 1 every day and a half
1/2 hen lays 1/2 egg evert day and a half

 

[larryshoat]

Well I would not feel right going to bed with this hanging in the balance . The answer is 6 days .
1.5 eggs + 1.5 eggs + 1.5 eggs + 1.5 eggs =6 eggs
1.5 days + 1.5 days + 1.5 days + 1.5 days =6 days
Even though she can lay an egg and a half it takes her a day and a half to do it, so in reality she is not laying eggs any faster than a traditional hen .
I'll post another one tomorrow .

Ok, I'll cry fowl. Should have said "them" instead of "her". Thought it was part of the trick.

I'll say goodnight also, last one almost caused a short circuit.

Not nearly as long as it will take a p1$$ ant to eat a bale of hay.
