A Problem to Keep You Busy:

Insta-Lawn:  A guy goes to a nursery to find a way to get his dirt yard to become a nice green lawn in one month.  The nursery salesperson says, "We have this plug of grass that will do the trick.  Just plant it in a central location and every day it will double the size of your lawn."  The nursery guy calculates that one plug will be sufficient to do the job in one month.

The homeowner decides to buy two plugs instead... just to be on the safe side.

If one plug will fill the lawn in 30 days, how quickly will two plugs do the job?
