Three fat cats can eat three fat rats in three minutes. How long will it take for thirty three fat cats to eat sixty six fat rats?

In the first statement, 1 fat rat is fed to each fat cat at the same time. So each fat cat took three minutes to eat one fat rat.

33 fat cats eating 66 fat rats? That's 2 fat rats per fat cat. Thus it will take 6 minutes.

How's that?
