Answer 1

Hello!
If there is a magical slug sitting on a platypus, and the slug doubles in weight each hour, starting at noon, we have to wait until 6 pm.
I got this answer by starting with 1 pound and doubling it. Then I doubled my answer over and over.

Pounds: 1, 2,4, 16, 32, 64, 128
Hours: 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

I hope this has helped!

Best regards,
Jessi
