Shepherd's puzzle (Posted on 2003-08-13)

On a certain pasture grass grows at a even rate. It is known that 40 cows can graze on it for 40 days before the grass is exhausted, but 30 cows can graze there as long as 60 days.

How many days would pasture last if 20 cows were to graze on it ?

Looking at Charlie's solution here it can be seen that the pasture would last 120 days.
