Clue
THE BIN WAS HALF FULL AT 10PM. THE SKIP STARTED WITH 1 LONELY BOTTLE. AT NOON: 1 PERSON CAME ALONG AND ADDED A BOTTLE, MAKING THE TOTAL 2 BOTTLES. AT 1PM: 2 PEOPLE CAME ALONG AND ADDED A BOTTLE EACH, MAKING THE TOTAL 2 + 2 = 4 BOTTLES. AT 2PM: 4 PEOPLE CAME ALONG AND ADDED A BOTTLE EACH, MAKING THE TOTAL 4 + 4 = 8 BOTTLES. AT 3PM: 8 PEOPLE CAME ALONG AND ADDED A BOTTLE EACH, MAKING THE TOTAL 8 + 8 = 16 BOTTLES. THEREFORE THE NUMBER OF BOTTLES IN THE BIN IS DOUBLING EVERY HOUR, AS IT WAS FULL AT 11PM, IT MUST HAVE BEEN HALF FULL AT 10PM
THE NEXT NUMBER IN THE SEQUENCE IS 1113213211. EACH NUMBER DESCRIBES THE PREVIOUS NUMBER. STARTING WITH 1, THE SECOND NUMBER DESCRIBES IT AS 11 (ONE 1). THEN THE THIRD NUMBER DESCRIBES 11 AS 21 (TWO 1'S). THEN THE FOURTH NUMBER DESCRIBES 21 AS 1211 (ONE 2, ONE 1). TO DESCRIBE 13112221, IT HAS TO BE 1113213211 (ONE 1, ONE 3, TWO 1, THREE 2, ONE 1). IN MATHEMATICS, THIS IS CALLED THE LOOK-AND-SAY SEQUENCE
THE JAR WILL BE HALF FULL IN 59 MINUTES. A MINUTE LATER, IT WILL DOUBLE AND WILL FILL THE JAR
THE JAR FULL OF QUARTERS WOULD HAVE THE HIGHEST VALUE BECAUSE A QUARTER IS WORTH MORE THAN A DIME AND PENNY. AMOUNT REFERS TO QUANTITY, SO IF THEY HAVE EQUAL AMOUNTS THERE WILL BE AN EQUAL NUMBER OF EACH
