  Giuseppe can make one pizza in 15 minutes and Gaetanno can make one pizza in 12 minutes, which means that together they make 9 pizzas in an hour and 216 in a day.Since Maximus takes 20 minutes to eat a pizza and he eats all day long, he eats 72 pizzas in a day. Thus they accumulate 144 pizzas in a day.

  144 Pizzas is correct!

  Giuseppe makes four pizzas every hour and Gaetanno makes five pizzas in every hour. Maximus eats three pizzas every hour so they net six pizzas, per hour. Multiplied by 24 hours and they end up with 144.

  You are today’s winner.
