  b. Marge, because the number of decays per unit time is halved in each half-life.
  c. Homer, because it's safe to handle radioactive substances after two half-lives.
  d. Both, because when all nuclei disintegrate the decay rate is also zero.
  e. Neither, because one quarter of the nuclei are left after two half-lives.
