If a man and a half dig a hole and a half in a day and a half how many holes does one man dig in a week

😕

since it was "no trickery, just mental math", my answer was correct. see the other thread also, where he posted the same question.

I only posted it once! Don't keep copying and pasting it and having a dig.
It was meant as a light hearted whimsy for when you are in the pub one night with your mates - I guarantee most will say one man digs a hole a day.
Honestly - it's just a bit of fun - doesn't need deep analysis

Just checked and apparently I did post it twice. Sorry. Going back to my cave whilst I try to figure out how to make this magic box thing on my desk do what I want it to.
Apologies
