Brain Teasers
Hmmmm, Jellybeans
I am a lolly fanatic and love my jelly beans. I have an insatiable appetite for them. There is a jelly bean jar sitting in front of me that has a capacity for 500 jellybeans. If I can eat jelly beans at a rate of 20 jellybeans per 30 seconds (slow, I know, but my jaw is sore at the moment) and require 2 'rests' per 100 jellybeans, how long will it take me to eat the amount of jellybeans in front of me?
Hint
Read it very very carefully, it is a trick after all. The key is in the line about what is in front of me.Answer
Zero seconds. I only claimed there was a jar sitting in front of me, not that it was full, therefore it will take me no time to 'eat the amount of jellybeans in front of me'.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer
