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

Cryptoassets enthusiasts use this application for their trade activities, and they may make donations for this cause.If somehow Telegram do run out of money to sustain themselves they will probably introduce some features that will not hinder the rudimentary principle of Telegram but provide users with enhanced and enriched experience. This could be similar to features where characters can be customized in a game which directly do not affect the in-game strategies but add to the experience.
Telegram Be The Next Best SPAC
I have no inside knowledge of a potential stock listing of the popular anti-Whatsapp messaging app, Telegram. But I know this much, judging by most people I talk to, especially crypto investors, if Telegram ever went public, people would gobble it up. I know I would. I’m waiting for it. So is Sergei Sergienko, who claims he owns $800,000 of Telegram’s pre-initial coin offering (ICO) tokens. “If Telegram does a SPAC IPO, there would be demand for this issue. It would probably outstrip the interest we saw during the ICO. Why? Because as of right now Telegram looks like a liberal application that can accept anyone - right after WhatsApp and others have turn on the censorship,” he says.
