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

Should You Buy Bitcoin?
In general, many financial experts support their clients’ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they don’t recommend it unless clients express interest. “The biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesn’t do well, and then all of a sudden they can’t send their kids to college,” says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. “Then it wasn’t worth the risk.” The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clients’ “side” investments. “Some call it a Vegas account,” says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. “Let’s keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesn’t become too large a portion of your portfolio.” In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldn’t recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if you’re passionate about it. “If it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,” Hammel says.
