Question

Donald Trump wants to build a 100 meter high tower as quickly as possible. He has unlimited resources and an unlimited budget and is willing to spend any amount to get the job done.
He has chosen to build the tower with blocks that are 100 meters long and 100 meters wide, but only 1 meter tall. The blocks interlock on top and bottom (like legos). They cannot be stacked sideways or on their ends.
Using special lifters, putting one stack on top of another stack takes one week regardless of how high the stacks are.
What is the shortest amount of time (weeks) that it will take to build the tower?

I looked up the answer, and everywhere it says that it is 10 weeks, but would it work with 1 stack of 100 blocks (1 week)?

Answer 1

It will take 100 weeks to build the tower.

Since Donald Trump wants to build a 100 meter high tower as quickly as possible with blocks that are 100 meters long and 100 meters wide, but only 1 meter tall, and using special lifters, putting one stack on top of another stack takes one week regardless of how high the stacks are, to determine what is the shortest amount of time (weeks) that it will take to build the tower, the following calculation must be performed:

• Time per block x total blocks = Total time
• 1 week x 100 = X
• 100 weeks = X

Therefore, it will take 100 weeks to build the tower.

Answer 2

Answer: 100 weeks

Step-by-step explanation: I think this is like a trick question or what not. I’m going to give you my best answer. It takes 1 week to stack a block and he wants it to be 100 meter tall. 1 block is one meter tall and since it takes 1 week per stack you would do 100 x 1 equals to 100 weeks. I know it says the shortest time but thats my best guess
