Answer 1

You can't dig half a hole.

Answer 2

Three hours.

The digging rate is 1/3 of a hole per two hours per man. to dig half hole by one man is 1/2 X 2 ÷ 1/3 = 3 hours.

Or:

each man's share of the hole is one third, and takes two hours to dig it . To dig one complete hole alone need 6 hours. Then to dig half a hole will take him 3 hours.
