WHAT WAS THE MESSAGE THAT WAS SENT OUT AFTER I JOINED THE SUBREDDIT?

Again, we are sorry this takes so long to arrive. Once it does, this is what the message says. 

HOW DO I SOLVE CLUE 1?

Although at first glance this may seem like 24 days, it is actually 47. Since it doubles in size, it covers half the lake in 47 days, and the next day it doubles again to cover the entire lake, making the total to cover the entire lake 48 days.

HOW DO I SOLVE CLUE 2?

Remember PEMDAS? It's the order that you solve equations in. Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply/Divide, Addition/Subtraction. So, it would make sense that you do the parentheses first, which gives you 3, then multiply by 2, giving you 6. Then divide by 6, and you get 1. But that is NOT correct. You add the numbers in the parentheses, then you divide 6 by 2. This gives you 3, then multiply by 3. The answer is 9.

HOW DO I SOLVE CLUE 3?

If you used a calculator for this problem, you probably had no issues. However, since this seems so simple many people will just do it in their heads. In the end, when it adds 10, 4,090+10 is 5,000, right? No, it's 4,100.

HOW DO I SOLVE CLUE 4?

In the Imgur link from before, there were two photos. One of them contained the word "hotel"
This is the answer.
