Imagine a bottle recycling skip, empty other than one lonely bottle.
Every hour, on the hour, people come and put bottles into the skip.

An hour later, four people each placed a bottle into the skip.
This doubling of people continued until 11pm, when the skip was finally full.

Puzzle 8
I recently travelled from my home town to a distant music concert, on a pedal tricycle, of all things! My wonderful, three-wheeled tricycle.
I knew that the epic 2,345 mile trip would wreak havoc on the tyres, but luckily I took along 4 spares!
Instead of waiting for any single tyre to fail, I decided that I would rotate the tyres evenly, making sure that by the end of the trip, all seven tyres had travelled exactly the same distance.
What was the distance that each tyre travelled?
