Title: Re: Friday Quiz 06032015 Post by: blah blah on Friday, March 6, 2015, 12:50:05 18 I think is 4 (assuming that as soon as you cut off the last head or tail, it is dead and nothing new grows)
1 - 2 heads 2 - 2 tails 3 - 2 heads 4 - 1 tail But if it keeps growing things back even after the last one has been chopped off, you need to finish with 2 heads so its then 5 1 - 2 heads 2 - 2 tails 3 - 1 tail 4 - 2 tails 5 - 2 heads Title: Re: Friday Quiz 06032015 Post by: kerry red on Friday, March 6, 2015, 12:50:14 11.
