Can you solve it???



Answer:

Time to double.

In a science lab, a petri dish hosts a healthy colony of yeast for an experiment. Now every minute, all the yeast cells divide into two. At noon, there was just a single cell of yeast and at 1:22, the Petri dish was half full. Can you calculate when the dish will be full of yeast?

Answer:
Since at every minute, the cells of yeast are multiplying into two and at 1:22, the dish was half full, it will become full the very next minute i.e. at 1:23.

Who dies?

In the following picture, E is going to slide the object down and as per the terrain and the physics, the round object is going to travel all the way till the end. Now, can you analyze who all people will die when it happens?




Answer:

As you can see, the person at D dies straight through the object directly. The object then travels further and the see saw thing kills the person at the C as it has spikes below that. Upon falling, over the see saw, the blue object lifts up and then kill the person at B.

The solution ends here, but just for fun, The E stands for Ebola and thus the person at A dies as well. Thanks to 9gag for this gif.

Forest Fire and Man

Alexander is stranded on an island covered in forest.

One day, when the wind is blowing from the west, lightning strikes the west end of the island and sets fire to the forest. The fire is very violent, burning everything in its path, and without intervention the fire will burn the whole island, killing the man in the process.

He then quickly carries it near the east end of he island and starts a new fire. The wind will cause that fire to burn out the eastern end and he can then shelter in the burnt area.
