As an experiment in a school lab, a pupil began to grow a mould sample. He observed it for a full month Moday to Friday and it went un-observed on the weekends. He noted that the mould doubled in size every day.
The experiemnt began on Wednesday May, 1 and by Friday May 31 the experiment ended with as mentioned the test-tube being full.
His teacher asked him if he could give an exact date of when the test tube was half full, bearing in mind there were 2 days every week that he did not see the experiment, would he be able to say when the tube was half full? and what date would that be?
