A Gelert farmer owns a small farm just outside Meridell where he grows berries. His plot of land is a rather odd shape... it's in the shape of two overlapping squares, one at a 59-degree angle to the other. The larger of the two squares is 180 meters on a side, and the smaller of the two is 162 meters on a side. The corner point of the larger square is at the center point of the smaller square.
Since it's springti'me, it's ti'me for the farmer to start planting berries! So, in the area of his field that is only within the larger square, he's planting Jumbleberries, which take 3 minutes per square meter to plant. The area of the field that is only within the smaller square will be planted with Red Chiaberries, which take 4 minutes per square meter to plant. Finally, in the area where the two overlap, he's planting Voidberries, which take 5 minutes per square meter to plant.
The Gelert farmer wants to have his entire field planted in three days. Assuming each person can work up to 8 hours a day, how many people would be required to do so? Round up to the nearest whole number.
