Logic is just as subjective as anything else. It all depends on perspective. That's why I gave you the example of being able to prove that 1 = 0. It's all in how we perceive, interpret and create concepts around a topic. So it's not fuzzy logic...it's perspective - which will forever be subjective. Jerry,

There doesn't appear to be much that supports the answer. The false statement in the problem is that after 1 second jar 1 becomes like jar 2. Fact is jar 1 never catches up with jar 2. And the ratio is 2 to 1 through out the cycle. How can these facts be ignored? The author has said to avoid a mathematical quagmire to think in terms of time. In the real world this fuzzy logic doesn't cut it. Can anyone help? Best regards Jerry Dawud,

When I was a math student in college, I found a proof that showed that 1 = 0. So things aren't always what they seem. And most things certainly aren't cut-and-dry.</p> Jerry,

May I ask is this question just two far outside the box? There are two identical jars, one containing 1 germ and the other 2 germs. Each germ reproduces it's self every second. The first jar, with one germ fills up in 60 minutes. How long will it take for the other jar to fill up? The given answer is 59 minutes and fitynine secounds. the answer seems to egnore the two to one ratio growth rate. I have scaled down the problem and I always come up with 30 minutes. What is wrong with me? Thanks Jerry I like your artical. May I ask is this question just two far outside the box?

I think the point isn't that we're out of the box, it's that we continue to expand the box we live in. lei,
Exactly. I think the point isn’t that we’re out of the box, it’s that we continue to expand the box we live in.

The limits of the box lets us more flexible to adjust for the constraint that will come our way. I like your thinking perspective.You made me also to think that we shouldnt rush going out of the box.
