Default Riddle 8 (solved by Aderyn; Rob agreed)
There are two jars of equal capacity. In the first jar there is one amoeba. In the second jar there are two amoebas. An amoeba can reproduce itself in three minutes. It takes the two amoebas in the second jar three hours to fill the jar to capacity. How long does it take the one ameoba in the first jar to fill that jar to capacity???
