Yet another One !?

There was a pond.

The pond was empty except for its water.

On the 1st day there was one lily pad.

On the 2nd day there were two lily pads.

On the 3rd day there were four lily pads.

On the 4th day there were eight lily pads.

Everyday the lily pads doubled.

It took 60 days to fill the pond with lily pads.

How many days did it take to half fill the pond with lily pads?

Yet another One !?
It has to be 59 days.

If each day the number of lily pads doubles. It took 60 days to fill it which means on 59th day it was half full and doubled to fill it on the 60th day. I think thats the logic of it.
