Question

arabpride · Answer

A basket's contents doubles every minute for an hour. If it begins with 1 piece, when was the basket half full?

anonymous · Answer

Is it full at the hour?

arabpride · Answer

Yes, it's full at the hour :3

anonymous · Answer

Then it'd take 59 minutes?

arabpride · Answer

LOLZ - yes! exactly! w0w that was way too easy cx
the basket was half full at 59 minutes~

anonymous · Answer

Initially thought "the minute before it was full", but didn't know when it would be full

arabpride · Answer

Idk why i didn't think of it that way when i read it - lolz - but that's exactly how the math teacher explained it~

anonymous · Answer

it would be a better question if you said 'it stops when it is full'.

arabpride · Answer

True, but i typed up the question out of memory, forgot to include that ~ Sorry c:
