Weekend special - brain teaser

[JF2050]

Here is the brain teaser to warm up our minds as we are preparing for the week.

You have an empty pool and you start filling it up. The volume of water doubles everyday. It will take you 100 days for the pool to be full, how many days will it take for the pool to be half full?


Enjoy .

99days

You are right, Great!

Why 99 days?

Why 99 days?

You need only 1 day for the pool to double from half full to full, since to full the pool requires 100 days then to fill it half full need to subtract 1 day.
