Question

Princess Twilight Sparkle has been assigned a sequence of tasks by Princess Celestia. Twilight must first save the Crystal Empire. Then she must warp through a magic mirror to an alternate reality where she loses her pony form and takes on humanoid form instead in an effort to regain her crown from the power-hungry Sunset Shimmer. Finally, Twilight must return to Ponyville and do her homework. She expects that the first task will take 5 days, the second will take 1 day, and the final task will take 10 days since she's such a perfectionist that she has to quadruple-check her work. How many days does she expect the entire sequence of tasks to take?

She'll spend so much time planning that she'll never get it done

Answer 1

There are three tasks taking 5, 1, and 10 days.

So, the overall completion time = 5+1+10 = 16 days.

I don't see any trick here.
