Answer 2

Wow, why am I feeling a strange sense of deja-vu? Have you asked this same question five to ten times with a different wording of the question? Why? Is it really worth five points to you to ask the same question this many times?

Don't worry, I won't waste my answers by try to reply to all of your same questions worded differently. If anybody wants to use my answers in one set that I've not already replied to, go ahead. You have my permission!

Are you in a contest and really, really need the answers? Well, here they are!


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. Are you counting how long it takes him to climb back down? How many minutes for the climbing, and how many are for the actual "getting" of the melons. Also, you didn't say he picked the melons. Perhaps he just climbs up, so someone gives him the ten melons as a prize?

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.

Answer 3

2.well it depends on if he has to climd down after every melon or if the time includeshimclimbing down but i would say about 26
