An 1000 kilo Elephant takes a 100 pound dump. If the Elephant stands on ten kilos of this dump and a dog eats up 1 ib how many pounds of dump is on the floor assuming the elephant left 3 kilos of a dingleberry behind him on his arse?

Nice choice. I can go see an escort for 150 or go planting trees with 10 girls.

150 and if you make the assumption, that the second hole is half the size of the first hole, 1 hour 15 minutes.

If the five men are Irish I would say 1 Pole could do it faster

1. Depends on the size of the trees....saplings r much eazier.......conifers are a bitch to plant, especially in clay ridden ground.

2. Depends which County Council they work for....i'd say Cork wd be the longest to dig ur half hole......no record setters down there!!

On second thoughts......there's no need to dig any holes.........just let all the heavy artics do the job and then the council will be saved the work. :D:D:D
