Question

1. You need 5 minutes to boil an egg. How many minutes do you need to boil 3 eggs?
2. There is a man who can climb up a tree and get 10 melons in a minute. How many melons can he get in 3 minutes?
3. What does one, two, four, five, six, eight, ten have in common?
4. Does 1+1 = 2 work ALL THE TIME?

Answer 1

1. If the eggs are all cold, it might take just a few seconds longer for the water to boil, since you'd have more cold eggs in the pot, but once it's boiling, it would take the same amount of time to boil three eggs as it does one.

2. It depends. Are you counting the time it takes to climb the tree? If he climbs up and then starts counting before he gets the melons, he could get about 30, but then he'd have to have a larger sack to carry them in, or drop them on the ground and bruise or crack them. So it all depends.

3. They are all numbers. Also, they're the beginning of a pattern. For each one to get to the next number, you'd add one, add two, add one, add one, add two, add two, so the next number might be 11, since you'd add one three times, then add two three times, then add three three times, then start over by adding one four times, adding two four times, etc.

You start with 1, then add like this:

1+1=2
2+2=4

4+1=5
5+1=6
6+2=8
8+2=10

Then you'd do this:
10+1=11
11+1=12
+1
+2
+2
+2
+3
+3
+3

+1
+1
+1
+1
+2
+2
+2
+2
+3
+3
+3
+3
+4
+4
+4
+4

+1
+1
+1
+1
+1
+2
and so on...

This is what you'd get...

1,

2, 4,

5, 6, 8, 10,

11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 22, 25, 28,

29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 43, 46, 49, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68,

69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, 83, 86, 89, 92, 95, 98, 102, 106, 110, 114, 118, 123, 128 and so on...
.

4. It won't work in the base 1 number system. You'd have 1, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, etc. So 1 + 1 would equal 10 in that case.
