It took 7 men, working 16 hours a day, 5.5 days to complete building a wall. How many days will one man take to complete building the same wall, if he works for 8 hours a day?

the completed wall would first have to be demolished then the following maths would give you the answer you want.7@16=5.5 # 14@8=2.75 # 1@8=2.75by14=38.50
Answer is 38.5 days.

No time at all - the wall is already built. I see someone got there first. Good question, anyway, thought I was going to get some points.

As stated above, 77 days for one man, or 616 hours.

You would be better employing women regardless of your answer {women can do any job in a quarter of the time it takes man to think about it in the first place }

The wall has already been built. Therefore no time at all.
