    8 X 10 = 4 X 20

    Read the question again. Its tricky. The wall has already been built by the eight men, so the four men cannot build one at all. ;))

    Never.  They are deluded Trump voters.  The 12th of NEVER is the correct answer.

    Your answer is correct but for the wrong reason. Four men cannot build a wall that has already been built by the first 8. HA!

    By Math 4 men would need 20 hours to build the same wall.
    By practical experience the more people are assigned to any project the slower it will get completed. They discuss and disagree and have little wars, etc.
