(1) I don′t think half hens lay eggs at all. (2) I don′t think hens lay half eggs. ⇒ I think the half hen is in a fridge or maybe in a pot while the whole hen obviously lays one egg per day.

Another nice question: If one car starts at 9 a.m. and needs 2 hours to drive 250 kilometres then how long will it take two and a half cars to drive 625 km when they start at 10:30 p.m.?

and how many cars will you need to travel 2000 miles from 6:45 in the morning within 5:15 hours to reach home at the moment the half hen is prepared for dinner?

the question makes sense statistically. then a hen lays (2/3) eggs in a day. worldwide each woman bears 2.39 children.

of course I know this. but as someone said, “rhere are small lies, big lies and then there are statistics”. we learn for life not for school, so we should learn the truth: half hens lay no eggs, but 2 cars are faster than 1 car if the drivers are both male and 3 workers need more than 1/3 of the time 1 worker would need. plus it′s more fun to answer in this way.
