Personal Comment: I really like this one!

The Doubler Enigma!

What we know: Ok, imagine a large bin with a single golf ball. Say that each minute people would come and put in one golf ball a piece. The first minute(Starting at 12 noon), 1 person came and put in 1 ball. The second minute, 2 people put in one ball a piece. A minute later, 4 people put in 1 ball a piece. This pattern continued until the bin was exactly full at 6 pm.

Enigma: At what time was the bin half empty?


Solution: 5:59 - Because each minute, the number of balls double!

See who got this right
