There is no answering this question as you have not specified the amount of time it took for the 6 men to dig the 6 holes, nor the depth of any given hole. Therefore 1 man could actually take as long as he wants to dig a 1/2 hole.
In a sence if it takes 6 men to dig 6 holes, 1 man can not dig half a hole at all, cause it takes 6 men!
Just like the question stated below can be misleading as you have to read it carefully.
There is a tub of water and 5 apples are in the tub.
If you take 3 apples out of the tub, what do you have?
You would have 3 cause the question is asking what you have, not what is left in the tub! :p ;)
Edit: :p :D Silly! Just plain silly! :p :D
[QUOTE=crazygamelover]There is no answering this question as you have not specified the amount of time it took
The topic says 6 men 6 holes 6 days lol

Ah! I see the topic but the question has been flawwed... :p Either that or it was intentionally left out to make one believe it was 6 days when in fact it was left out on purpose to see if we would catch on to it. :p
In regard to the 6 day part, 3days does make sence! :D
6holes,6men,6days?
666???
Its the work of the Devil!!!!!
By the way, I say 3 too. (Well it is a magic number ;) )

There is no such thing as half of a hole. Once the hole is started, it is indeed a whole hole.....LOL :p

Did you get that on your own CGL? Or did he give you the answer? I mean I really fell flat on my face on that one.
BTW, CGL is correct.
Tyler!
Personally, I think there is such a thing as half a hole. :)
