What is the delay between the second and third attempt, assuming each previous attempt fails?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, B

Max Attempts: The maximum number of retry attempts set is 4.

Initial Delay: The initial delay before the first retry attempt is 2 minutes.

Delay Factor: The delay factor is set to 2, which means the delay doubles with each retry.

Calculating Delays:

First attempt fails, delay before second attempt = Initial delay = 2 minutes.

Second attempt fails, delay before third attempt = Initial delay * Delay factor = 2 minutes * 2 = 4 minutes.

Third attempt fails, delay before fourth attempt = 4 minutes * Delay factor = 4 minutes * 2 = 8 minutes.

Delay Between Attempts: The question specifically asks for the delay between the second and third attempt, which is calculated as 8 minutes.

I hope the queue processor doesn't have a sense of humor, or else it might just delay for 42 minutes instead!

Wait, is this a trick question? I'm going to overthink this and go with 4 minutes just to be safe.

Woah, the delay factor is 2? That's going to add up quickly! I'll say 6 minutes.

I believe it's 8 minutes because the delay factor is 2 and each previous attempt fails.
