Task 1(a)

The Zin used in the question is a built made up of blocks. According to the given condition, each block required to build the Zin is of 1 cubic foot. The zin has been divided into dimensions of which the block consist of i.e. length of the block is 50 feet, height of the block is 100 feet and similarly, the depth is 10 feet. The total number of blocks required to build the Zin is 50 x 10 x 100 = 50,000 blocks.

Work started on Aquaday.

The working day has nine Schlibs.

The basic measurement of time in Atlantis is a day.

Day five in the Atlantian week is called Daydoldrum.

The height of the Zin is one hundred feet.

There are three and a half feet in a megalithic yard.

The width of the Zin is ten feet.

Each gang includes two women.

Green has special religious significance on Mermaidday

Each worker takes rest periods during the working day totalling sixteen ponks.

The Zin is built of stone blocks.

There are eight ponks in a schlib.

Each block is one cubic foot.

The Zin is made of green blocks.

A cubitt is a cube, all the sides of which measure one megalithic yard.

At any time when work is taking place, there is a gang of nine people on site.

Day two in the Atlantian week is called Neptiminus.

One member of each gang has religious duties and does not lay blocks.

There are five days in an Atlantian week.

No work takes place on Daydoldrum.

A working day starts at daybreak.

Day three in the Atlantian week is called Sharkday.

Does work take place on Sunday?

Each block costs two gold fins.

What is a Zin?

What is a cubitt?

Only one gang is working on the construction of the Zin.

Day one of the Atlantian week is called Aquaday.

Workers each lay 150 blocks per schlib.

Day four in the Atlantian week is called Mermaidday.

The length of the Zin is fifty feet.

There are eight gold scales in a gold fin.

Which way up does the Zin stand?

An Atlantian day is divided into schlibs and ponks

There number of days are in an Atlantian week are Aquaday, Neptiminus, Sharkday, Mermidday and Daydoldrum. The Daydoldrum is like Sunday when no work is done. There are 9 schlibs that are comprised in one day and there are 8 plonks in a schlib. There are almost 16 plonks of rest required for the particular team per day and that is equivalent to two schlibs, therefore the per day requirement for the completion of schlibs is 7 schlibs.

According to the given condition, an amount of 150 blocks each worker has to lay per schlib. During the commencing of the work, a gang of 9 people that are along the site is available. One of these people cannot work because of some religious duties. Now, designing the condition mathematically, i.e.:

7 Schlibs x 150 blocks each x 8 people work = 8,400 blocks per day are laid

Initially, it was estimated that 50,000 blocks are required therefore dividing it by 8400 we get,

Number of Blocks / Blocks should be ...
