If a doctor gave you three pills and told you to take one every half an hour, how long would the pills last you?

if you took the first one at four o'clock you'd take the last one at five o'clock
but we don't know how long the pills' effects would last

One hour will elapse from the time you take the first pill to the time you take the last pill.
Take the first pill - Time 0:00
Take the second pill - Time 0:30
Take the third pill - Time 1:00

If you took one immediately then your last one would be consumed within one hour. If the effect of the pills lasted half an hour then they would last for one and a half hours. But if the effect was more long lasting...like the contraceptive pill...then who can say?
