Clue
IT WOULD TAKE 5 MINUTES. EACH MACHINE TAKES 5 MINUTES TO MAKE ITS WIDGET. THEREFORE, EACH OF THE 100 MACHINES WOULD HAVE FINISHED MAKING ITS WIDGET IN 5 MINUTES
IT WILL TAKE 10.5 SECONDS FOR THE CLOCK TO STRIKE 10. WHILE STRIKING 7, THE CLOCK STRIKES THE FIRST GONG AT 7 O'CLOCK AND IT STRIKES 6 MORE AT REGULAR INTERVALS. THESE 6 INTERVALS TAKE 7 SECONDS, SO THE INTERVAL BETWEEN GONGS IS 7⁄6 SECONDS. HOWEVER TO STRIKE 10, THERE ARE 9 INTERVALS EACH TAKING 7⁄6 SECONDS. THIS ADDS UP TO A TOTAL OF (9 X 7⁄6) 10.5 SECONDS
THE PATIENT WILL TAKE 1 HOUR TO CONSUME ALL FIVE TABLETS. SUPPOSE HE TAKES THE FIRST TABLET AT 8:00 PM. HE WILL TAKE THE SUBSEQUENT TABLETS AT 8:15 PM, 8:30 PM, 8:45 PM AND 9:00 PM
IT WOULD TAKE 47 DAYS TO COVER HALF OF THE LAKE, AS THEY DOUBLE IN SIZE EVERY DAY
