First hour, , a small amount of the job done.
Hour Number Two, two workers, when completed time:

Hour Number Three, three workers, when completed time:

UNKNOWN number of hours completed, for finishing harvesting the vineyard's grapes:
(1/50)(1+2+3+...n)=1

1+2+3+...n=50

OR in renderable notational form

n=10.69, more than ten hours but less than eleven hours.
The actual time from start to finish would be 10 hours 41 minutes.
