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

Telegram auto-delete message, expiring invites, and more
elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsApp’s privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitors’ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegram’s encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete won’t remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, it’ll stick around. Telegram’s competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
Why Telegram?
Telegram has no known backdoors and, even though it is come in for criticism for using proprietary encryption methods instead of open-source ones, those have yet to be compromised. While no messaging app can guarantee a 100% impermeable defense against determined attackers, Telegram is vulnerabilities are few and either theoretical or based on spoof files fooling users into actively enabling an attack.
