According to social psychologists Will M. Gervais and Ara Norenzayan, your answers depend show how likely you are to believe in God or the supernatural. I'm curious if our answers will support the psychologist hypothesis.

5 cents, 5 mins, one day less.

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

1. I want to say 10 cents, but that would mean the bat is $1.00, which isn't $1.00 more than .10 cents, so it's gotta be .5 cents, right? The bat would be $1.05, which is a dollar more than .5 cents.
2. That's the same as 1 machine making 1 widget in 1 minute, so adding another 99 machines would get you 100 widgets in 1 minute.
3. At day 48, the patch doubled and covered the pond totally, so at day 47 the patch was half the size, which has to mean the pond was only half covered.
I don't know, this shit always makes sense to me, but one of you fuckers are gonna point out how I missed a detail that reveals the answer. That's how these always go. Haha
Eta: Aah dammit. Yeah, #2 is 5 minutes. It would take 1 machine 5 minutes to make 1 widget. See!? Fuck these! Haha
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
