If a hen and a half lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many eggs will half a dozen hens lay in half a dozen days?
This is a trick question because many people will assume since it takes 1½ hens 1½ days to make 1½ eggs that it will take 1 hen 1 day to make 1 egg. This is wrong on so many levels!
It's like saying if it takes 2 people 2 days to make 2 cars, it will take 1 person 1 day to make 1 cars. Capital No (and that's why many fell for the answer 36)! It will take 1 person 1 day to make ½ car. Think about it! It will take 1 person 2 days to make 1 car.
Back to question, we have to find out how many eggs 1 hen can make in 1 day.
Well, it will take 1 hen 1½ days to make 1 egg, agreed?
So it will take 1 hen 1 day to make (1 ÷ 1½)eggs
So 6 hens will make 6 x (1 ÷ 1½) eggs in 1 day
And 6 hens will in 6 days make 6 x 6 x (1 ÷ 1½) eggs = 24 eggs

Some messages aren’t supposed to last forever. There are some Telegram groups and conversations where it’s best if messages are automatically deleted in a day or a week. Here’s how to auto-delete messages in any Telegram chat. You can enable the auto-delete feature on a per-chat basis. It works for both one-on-one conversations and group chats. Previously, you needed to use the Secret Chat feature to automatically delete messages after a set time. At the time of writing, you can choose to automatically delete messages after a day or a week. Telegram starts the timer once they are sent, not after they are read. This won’t affect the messages that were sent before enabling the feature.
Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks
A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year.
A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
