If he can smokes five an hour, then it would be twenty-five. He could make 5 more out of the remnants, but five is still his limit.

In the OP it states that he can smoke 5 in an hour, make another cig. out of the remnants, AND SMOKE THAT ONE WITHIN THE HOUR. That makes it 6. 6 * 5 = 30.

Andromeda, Bonanova, how did you two come up with 21?

It's not 31.

Total smoked

Hour 1: smokes first 5, only THEN is 1 left over............5

Hour 2: smokes 5 plus one from last time....................6

Hour 3: smokes 5 plus one from last time....................6

Hour 4: smokes 5 plus one from last time....................6

Hour 5: smokes 5 plus one from last time....................6

=29

:P

I've heard similar ones to this before and I've come to the conclusion that 30 is the correct answer. Here is my reasoning...

Hour 1: 5 Cigarettes Smoked--5 Butts Collected to Make 1 Cigarette--1 Butt Left Over

Hour 2: 5 Cigarettes Smoked--5 Butts Collected to Make 1 Cigarette--1 Butt Left Over

Hour 3: 5 Cigarettes Smoked--5 Butts Collected to Make 1 Cigarette--1 Butt Left Over

Hour 4: 5 Cigarettes Smoked--5 Butts Collected to Make 1 Cigarette--1 Butt Left Over

Hour 5: 5 Cigarettes Smoked--5 Butts Collected to Make 1 Cigarette--1 Butt Left Over

After the 5th Hour, he has 5 butts, enough to make 1 more cigarette. However, in the OP, it says he has enough time to smoke the 1 'scrapped' cigarette (combination of the 5 butts) that hour. So we are assuming he can only smoke a total of 6 per hour. Had it said he could smoke any cigarettes he rolls during that hour in the allotted time, it would be 31.

Al is stupid for smoking

Does it say that five is his LIMIT? Because all it says is that he CAN smoke five in an hour. I CAN drink five glasses of water in an hour. I CAN also drink seven.... See where I'm going with this?
