Amoebas (Math Brainteaser Puzzle)

Amoebas are a very simple form of life and are able to reproduce very quickly. It only takes three minutes for an amoeba to reproduce itself. In the laboratory there were two jars of equal size. In one of them there were two amoebas. It took them 3 hours to fill the jar. As an experiment, I placed one amoeba in the second jar. How long did it take to fill the jar?

Clue for the Puzzle:

After 3 minutes, there are two amoebas in the second jar too.

Answer for the Puzzle:

It takes 3 hours and 3 minutes for the second jar to be filled.
