document.write( " The question is worded BOTH terribly and incorrectly.\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( " A correct formulation is this \" For how many days this supply will last ? \"\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );

document.write( "1 drop =  milliliters, or 1 milliliter = 20 drops \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " (as given in the problem and is consistent \r\n" );
document.write( " with the standard conversion factor).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, 10 mL in the bottle are equivalent to 10*20 = 200 drops. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " Thus, your supply in the bottle is 200 drops. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Every time you use 1 + 1 = 2 drops for (1+1) = 2 two/both your eyes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, you can treat your eyes 200 : 2 = 100 times.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Each treatment covers 8 hours.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "100 treatments will cover 8*100 = 800 hours.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "One day in this context is 24 hours.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, the number of days is  = 33  .\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus, one bottle supply is enough for full 33 days.\r\n" );
document.write( "At the end of the 33-th day, you will make the last treatment,\r\n" );
document.write( "and its action will continue (will last) first 8 hours on the day 34.\r\n" );
