You are out of pills at 60 minutes when you take the 3rd one. At 90 minutes you don’t have a pill to take.

The effects of those 3 pills would last for several more hours, depending on lots of variables.

Who said each pill lasts 30 minutes? You are assuming the effect of the pills lasts for 30 minutes but nowhere was that stated. The Doctor just said to take one every 30 minutes.

Imprecision is for slackers, like the Doper-In-Chief. Do you agree with Slacker-Boy & Candy Crowley about "acts of terror"?

I totally agree. When I take medication, I assume that the medical professional is telling me how long the effect will last. Don't you?

Fine, and this is where the logic of the entire test fails. The author expects you to assume that he means the effect period of each pill when he says "last". Fine. Then, why shouldn't you be allowed to assume along the very same logic that when he asks about month days he means how many days total months of the year have? TEST DESIGN FAIL!

I’m thinking that the author isn’t a programmer-analyst...

Once you take a pill it is gone. The three pills last 60 minutes.

It does not matter how frequently you take the pills. You can swallow all three at once, but the dose will last for 24 hours (for example.)

The trick in this question is that most sane people understand that pill that you have is not immediately valuable, but a pill that is in your body is doing something that you need. A pill's EFFECT lasts for a certain time. Normal people read the question as "for how long the combined effect of three pills lasts?" We do not know how long is the tail of the effect, but since we know that pills must be taken with a 30 min. interval then the usable part of the effect is contained in that interval.

You can also look at it from another dimension. What does it mean "a pill ... lasts?" It means "for how long does it work in your body." You can have the pill in your hand, or you can have it in your stomach. Swallowing of a pill does not destroy it; however once it ends working and gets removed from the bloodstream then it truly disappears. Since each pill lasts 30 minutes in your blood then three pills, taken as indicated, will last 90 minutes.

One could say "How soon you have no more pills in the container?" but that was not the question. If each pill buys you a month of life, three pills will last you three months starting at the moment you take the first one. Anyone arguing otherwise is too smart for his own good; he might just as well argue what the meaning of the word "is" is. An example:

A mathematician walks in the fog. Suddenly a balloon descends from above. A man asks: "Could you please tell me where I am?" The mathematician thinks for a moment and then replies: "You are in the gondola of a balloon."

The answer of the mathematician is correct but that's not what he was asked. Trick questions like that do nothing to test intelligence.

Nope. Take one pill at 12:00; take 2nd pill at 12:30; take 3rd (last pill) at 1;00. 60 minutes. That first pill always messes some people up.

If he’s not alive to take a vow and sign the form, then I think it would not be a lawful marriage.

That was my calculation exactly. The question was not "when do you run out of pills", but how long do the pills last.

They last thirty minutes each, don't they? Or is the third pill a placebo?
