But wouldn't they reach each other after the first iteration (or were the girls chained to the wall)?

Oops, should have said half the distance to the center of the gym.

Last weekend I bought a chemistry book like that - it's full of errors.

The 7th day is zero eggs, it is not until the half aste the 7th day are any eggs laid. Similar to the one where you don't count your wages until you've worked, you don't count your eggs until they are laid.

I don't buy it foot. It's cheating. It doesn't say "on the seventh day". It says "in seven days". Anyone reading that would clearly see it as a duration. Otherwise the original "in a day and a half" would have a different meaning.

Pfui.

That hen and a half thing ... I'm used to hearing that end "how long will it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle."

Mental Nuts == Argument Seeds?

Perhaps, but entertaining. Look at the number of posts in this thread. We're eating this stuff up.

Or an elephant with a wooden leg to bore a hole in a bar of soap.

I've taught them to my kids.

Is the wall above ground or underground, relative to the ground?

Does the frog go aground the well?

Assuming that every jump is a 3 foot jump.

It's obvious... the frog is losing a foot with each jump

After 4 jumps, the frog has no feet left.

28, just like the eggs.
