The correct way to ask would be “If ALL widget machines ever made take 1 minute to produce one widget...”


Given the speed of widget making, one machine would still take five minutes to make a widget.

only in the original first 5 machines- the other 200 could be slower or faster- we don’t know- it’s a trick question- if however, all widget machines everywhere were capable of making a widget per minute- then yep- we could then know the 100 mentioned were capable of 1 p/m

also- were not even sure how fast the first 5 machines are- one could create a widget in 30 seconds, another in 1 minute 30 seconds another the rest taking 1 minute each-

Question is too vague to answer
