C0D4681384yWell, that depends on the men building it. 1 trump can't build a wall, I doubt 8 could even start, so 4 would take eternity.
-
Ideally 20, but in reality each person is not doing identical work, They might have formed a chain with each person doing 1 step. So, 4 men might be more inefficient and take much longer than 20.
-
Also, if it only requires 4 men, then, in those 8 men, 4 are extra and are not adding to productivity, so, It might take same amount of time.
-
They won't get the wall built at all because the four fired men were the actual workers. Now you're left with a finance clerk, a project manager, an HR drone, and the CEO.

~7. There are 3 people working and another 1 reviewing all the wall merges and seams. However, that reviewer is holding everyone back, because some seams seem too loose or with off pattern and the 3 have to fine-tune all their work according to the comments, and to work on merging the separately built segments [also solving all the occurring conflicts. All off them - not just wall-related].
It's naive to expect 4x less time, because higher concurrency introduces more synchronization and more context switches. So I guess it would take 7-ish hours. Similar case to 3 workers. Whereas 2 workers might be more efficient
If it took 8 men 10 hours to build a wall, how long would it take 4 men to build it?
question
only legends will get the answer...
