If the population doubles every 20 minutes, and the can is full at 6:00PM, then the can must have been half full 20 minutes before 6:00PM or 5:40PM 

<span>Likewise the can is: </span>
<span>Full at 6:00PM </span>
<span>Half full at 6:00-0:20 = 5:40PM </span>
<span>1/4 full at 5:40 - 0:20 = 5:20PM </span>
<span>1/8 full at 5:20 - 0:20 = 5:00PM </span>
<span>1/16 full at 5:00 - 0:20 = 4:40PM</span>
