First problem
You have got a magical basket where there is initially one egg inside. It duplicates every minute, i;e the first minute would be half the number of egg of the second minute.
It takes 60 minutes for that basket to be full.
How long does it takes for that basket to be half full with eggs?
Type the answer in minute
The answer is 59.

This is a good question. Keep aside all the numbers and think.
It says that every minute the number of eggs get doubled.
In one hour it is full then half is 0.5 which is full/2. so, the previous minute that is at 59 minutes, it was half full.
So, the answer to this wonderful question is 59 minutes.
