3 men = 6 days = 3 holes
0.5 men = 6 days = 0.5 holes
0.5x6 men = 6/6 days = 0.5 holes
3 men = 1 day = 0.5 holes

New riddle for maxkeplerisme since he asked… In Flatland, everyone lives on a 2-D plane with no concept of height. (Like a piece of paper on your desk.) If a sphere of arbitrary dimensions were to use height to pass through the plane, going from top to bottom, in what form would the citizens of Flatland see the sphere?

I think you might have misinterpreted the question. They are in a 2D plane, and a sphere with height slowly passes through that plane. How would they see such an event? This problem was not mine, and the thought experiment was proposed by someone else a long time ago.

They would see a circle getting bigger and bigger until it reaches a certain size and then shrinking until it vanishes
