4.5 men = 60 cakes (3 times the 20 cakes to reach 60)
If the dudes can handle it, two. Each one can consume 60 in one hour.Quote:

I believe the answer is 6 men. :thumbs2:

37. On the 36th day, he would crawl up from 35 metres to 39 but slip back to 36 metres during the night. The 37th day would see it crawl from 36 metres up by 4 metres, taking it out of the hole.
