The king gave the mason Václav the task of building a wall 25 cm thick, 50 m long, and 2 m high. If Václav had worked without a break and at the same pace, he would have built a wall in 26 hours. However, according to the valid royal regulations, Wenceslas must comply with the following conditions:
-He must take just six half-hour breaks during work.
-At the beginning of the work and after each half-hour break, when he is sufficiently rested, he can work a quarter faster than the normal pace, but not longer than one hour.
-Must work for at least 3/4 hours between breaks.
