[QUOTE="blisters, post: 576718, member: 4992"] OK I made this one up, hopefully I didn't stuff it :D A father and son go out occasionally banking on their lease. They've got some ok ground returning 84g gold per cubic metre of dirt. When they both work together for 9 day stints they are collectively able to put 12 cubic metres through the banker over that period. They divide the gold equally. When the son works alone for 27 days he puts through 27 cubic metres and keeps all the gold for that period. The son shovels at the same rate as when working with his father. When working together, how much more gold does the father get each cubic metre of dirt he shovelled than the son? [/QUOTE]
