Hint
How much of a warren can each rabbit dig in one hour?

Answer
2 hours.

Reasoning
The small rabbit can dig a warren in nine hours, so digs ¹/₉ in one hour.

The medium rabbit can dig a warren in 6 hours, so digs ¹/₆ in one hour.

The large rabbit can dig a warren in four and a half hours, so digs ¹/_4.5 in one hour.

   1 Hour = ¹/₉ + ¹/₆ + ¹/_4.5

To make the denominators all the same, we can multiply through by ¹⁸/₁₈ to give:

   1 Hour = ²/₁₈ + ³/₁₈ + ⁴/₁₈

   1 Hour = ⁹/₁₈

   1 Hour = ¹/₂

So in one hour, they have dug half a warren, the whole warren will therefore take 2 hours.

Hint
Do leap years make a difference?

Answer
Hours in 10 years.

Reasoning
In a day, there are 60 x 60 x 24 seconds = 86,400 seconds.

In 10 years, there are 10 x 365 x 24 hours = 87,600 hours, which even without the leap years is already the larger number.
