If it takes two men four day to dig one hole how long does it take one man to dig half a hole?

4 days (someone else's answer)New answer: I was asked this question as a personality test during a job interview. He made it clear that the question was not a math question. So when I had no answer he responded by saying that "you can't dig a half of a hole". I then replied that as an adult when I dig a hole, it is for a specific reason. That reason dictates the hole's dimensions. If I do not dig the hole to those dimensions then it is possible that I have not dug my whole hole and therefore it is possible to dig a half of a hole.
