Quiz - Lazy Gardener
Haven't seen a quiz out here for a bit. This shouldn't be to hard of one. For me to believe you figured out the answer yourself, please explain how you got your numbers (if anyone is interested in giving it a go)
It takes two gardeners 8 days to mow a lawn, but it would only take one of them 12 days to mow it on his own. How many days would the lazy gardener take to mow the lawn on his own?

It takes the lazy gardner 24 days to mow the lawn.
Using the simple equation of the product of how long each takes over the sum yields the amount of time it takes for both to mow the lawn. In this case: (12*X)/(12+X) = 8. Simply solve for X (the amount of time for the lazy gardner to mow the lawn). P.S. that's one HUGE yard!
