It takes a elephant trainer 40 minutes to wash an elephant and it takes his assistant 2 hours to wash an elephant.

How long does it take them both to wash 3 elephants when they work togther ?

To get it right you need to have the right answer and a reason why It is that answer. Anyone can reply.

Two hours. 'Cause by the time the assistant has cleaned one, the trainer has cleaned the other two.

Meh, I dunno.

2 hours?

Man 1 and Man 2 both start washing an elephant.

Man 1 finishes after 40 minutes, and starts a third elephant.

Man 1 finishes the third elephant 80mins after they both started. He has to wait another forty minutes for man 2 to finish.
