Riddle me this *Wednesday*

[helenabear]

Yes, this is the “official” riddle thread. Bernie needed a substitute riddlemiester for today so here it is

A jar starts off with 4 amoebas in it. The amoebas split their cells in two, therefore doubling size, once every minute. The jar will be completely filled in 10 minutes. How long would it take to fill the same sized jar if it had 8 amoebas in it to begin with?



And see… this was a SCIENCE riddle, not a MATH riddle

The Hacienda de la Tortuga in Cancun, Mexico, is definitely an idealistic place to relax at for a while

I think I will skip going to work and head there instead

Good morning friends and thanks for the riddle helenabear....I have a guess, will send a PM.

 

[helenabear]

Good morning Steph, John, Vanessa and everyone else looking in. I must say I have an early schedule for work so I won't be around near as much as our Bernie is, but I'll do the best I can.

With that... pay no attention to the lady behind the curtain

 

[Boo'sMom]

ooooh...curtain on page one...you people better get a move on....if you want pants before rootin'...tootin'

Morning Riddlers!

You know how some riddles just don't "click"with you? Ok, well that's yesterdays. I still don't get it. I mean, what's the extra u for?

 

[Boo'sMom]

uPLATm

 

[Dan Murphy]

Looks like a good one, pm sent.

Good morning to all.

 

[Boo'sMom]

Well, I hate to eat and run, but I have a bunch of stuff to do this morning if I'm going to justify painting my dining room while DH is at work

Have a great morning everyone!
