Re: a new hair-growth drug is being

Hi instructor,
Could you pls help to confirm below my generalization of the "times" idiom usages? I chose an incorrect answer to this question not only because I analyzed the construction by mistake, but only because I was not so clear about the " times" usage.
Thank you!

1)X times+noun
2) X times as +adj/adv+as
3) X times +comparative+than

If you were to have Ron's brain, you'd not need more than 45mins to get through the verbal section. :)

not true—i'm actually a very slow reader.
