  1. Spread of Rumors After a large chip manufacturer posts poor quarterly earnings, the rumor of widespread layoffs spreads among the employees. The rumor spreads throughout the \(100{,}000\) employees at a rate that is proportional to the product of the number of employees who have heard the rumor and those who have not. If \(10\) employees started the rumor, and it has spread to \(100\) employees after \(1\,\rm{h}\), how long will it take for \(25\%\) of the employees to have heard the rumor?
