The doctor prescribes you to take one pill from the bottle every half an hour. The bottle is now left with only three pills.

How long do you have before you run out of pills?

I think the answer is two hours as the person may well have just taken a pill out.

There's a reason it's a riddle and not a logic puzzle. Technically if you take one right away you run out after an hour. If you just took one already you run out after an hour and a half.

Running out = immediately when you've no pills left.
