  1. 30 minutes = 4 people

    60 minutes = 16 people

    30*x minutes = 4^x people

    5702224175 = 4^x

    log 5702224175 = x log 4

    x = log 5702224175 / log 4 = 16.2

    Therefore it will take around 16.2 * 30 minutes = 8 - 8.5 hours


  2. in 9 hours

  3. in eight hours, around 4.3 billion people have already heard about your new supermarket ...

    in the next 30 minutes, all people, living and dead would have heard it ...

  4. these many hours 712778021.875.

  5. This sounds like the whole rabbit thing, their rate of reproducing. What's that called? Oh well. Besides, you can't tell everyone. Too many dead.
