\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If 12 people can do a job in 12 days, then 12 people can do 1/12 of the job in 1 day, so to get the entire job done in 1 day you would need 12 times as many people. 12 times 12 is 144.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Of course, the above calculation presumes that the granularity of the subtasks is such that there are 144 different things that can be done, each taking 1 person 1 day to complete and the sum of which is the entire job. For example, it takes a woman 9 months to have a baby. By the logic in this problem, 9 women could have the same baby in one month. I don't think so.\r
