Dennis can eat 10 pies per hour (pph).
David can eat 5 pph. Robert can eat 4.0986 pph. If they share the same pie how long will it take them to eat the whole thing? The answer will be posted later and should not be a surprise to anyone.

4. extremely hard to answer
Cause the easy answer is always wrong.
How many pieces to the Pie? Cause two of them will have some idle time, when the last slice is taken by the third. (one of them even more, should he finish with no piece left)

And, may I suggest a small variation:

Let Dennis eat 3 pph, David 2 and Robert 2.02598. Those three need pi * e minutes to eat a pie. :hi:
