Riddle

If it takes 3 people to dig 1 hole how many people does it takes for 1/2 an hole?

Choose an answer

A.One and a half people
B.Two people
C.One person
D.You can't dig 1/2 an hole because once you begin to dig it is an hole.
Hint: It's a 15-word phrase with 50 letters, starting with "Y".

Answer

You can't dig 1/2 an hole because once you begin to dig it is an hole.

Why this is the answer

As soon as digging starts, the result is simply 'a hole,' not a fractional one, so half a hole doesn't logically exist.
