Transgene waterlilies
False of course

Suggestion from Cousyoub the 06/18/04 :
7 and a half days ((30 / 2) / 2)=7.5
The calculation ((30/2)/2)=7.5 is just but the answer is false.

Suggestion from Sphinx the 06/20/04 :
15 days! :) so that both cover half of the surface.
It's incerdible the number of variety of waterlily that exists...

Suggestion from YBI the 06/21/04 :
We are going to say 14 days
We are going to say that it's not that!

Suggestion from Moonfree the 06/21/04 :
29 days are necessary so that waterlilies recover the pond.
This answer doesn't answer the terms...

Suggestion from qqcqq314 the 06/26/04 :
answer: 29 days
Neither!

Suggestion from Marie-France the 06/29/04 :
29 days are necessary because the 30th, 2 occupied all the pond!
2 waterlilies occupied all the pond before the 30th day...

Suggestion from Cousyoub the 07/14/04 :
3,25 days, is 3 days and 6 hours ((30 days / 2 (half of the pond)) / 2 (because 2 waterlilies)) and still / 2 (because each of 2 waterlilies take charge of half of half of the pond or 1/4 of the pond if you prefer). And yes, I had not thought enough the first time!!!
It would seem that the reflection is not enought...

Suggestion from Fugazi the 07/21/04 :
6 and a half days 30 / 2 / 2=7.5 days and we deprive it another day because they are two to begin
NO!

Suggestion from MoKo the 07/31/04 :
( Square root of 30) / 2 = 1,369306393762915283642424457002 days
Too simple!It would not miss a little of Neperian Logarithm and cardinal sine?

Suggestion from Sahsou the 08/24/04 :
Indeed on it is 51 days.
Indeed on that not!

Suggestion from Rallyman the 08/24/04 :
At the end of 29 days, a waterlily covers half of the pond. But how they are 2, they go twice as fast and thus they put twice fewer time! Thus, me I would say 29jours/2 is 14 days and 12 hours!
And indeed you would say wrong!
