  Assuming you start immediately and we’re talking about the digestive system of a human, it would take 1 hour and 20 minutes to two hours depending on the type of pill and if your stomach is empty or not, as you would take the three pills wihtin sixty minutes and the third pill will “last” twenty minutes to one hour before fully digested. So the question to you, Riddle Dude, is what’s your definition of “last?”

  1 hour. That is if the question refers to how long it will be before they run out.

  Yes, great job Paul!

  The pills will last 1 hour. You take the first one immediately, the second one in 30 minutes and the third pill is taken in one hour.

  You are today’s winner.
