There are two jars of equal capacity. In the first jar there is one amoeba. In the second jar there are two amoebas. An amoeba can reproduce itself in three minutes. It takes the two amoebas in the second jar three hours to fill the jar to capacity. How long does it take one amoeba in the first jar to fill to capacity?

Between 3 hours and 3 hours 3 minutes, as we do not know how fast after the last split they are placed into the jars.
