bio with Townsend 2! which pea will when the race??

You have just started an experiment where peas were soaked in water for 48, 24, 12, 6, and 1 hour respectively. Which one do you think will result with the most germination? Which one do you think will germinate the fastest? (Doesn't necessarily have to be the same one). Why have you chosen the ones you have? I believe that the 12 hour one will germinate fastest. It wasn't over drenched or not enough.It seems to me when you plant a plant you can kill it with water, you can either put to much or to little. so it seems that 12 hours is in between the longest and shortest time. I am looking at it from the plant perspective though It could be completely different but i think the water will suffocate it since it is a plant and too much of a bad thing is not a good thing.
