You have a testube of an unknown volume, into this testtube you put one bacteria which undergoes cell division every minute. After an hour the testtube has been filled with bacteria.
How long will it take to fill up the same testube with the bacteria if you initially put 2 bacteria into it instead of one? Hint: Yes this can solved using logs but if you reason this out there is a much easier way. First one to post the answer wins. -Nick ------------- ///AMG What? |
