Mental maths

Heard this one the other day. No pencil or paper allowed. And it's NOT a trick (can't have half a hole etc)

Anyway - -

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?

not fair if you can have half a hole in the question and can't have half a hole in the answer 😛

No - I mean it is really a straight maths question - no tricks etc

Yes - basically it's 4 and 2/3rds.
It was explained to me that it takes a day and a half to dig a hole and a half - therefore a hole a day.

Simple after that
