Tomaría la misma cantidad de tiempo terminar con o sin turnos (concurrencia) y habrías hecho la misma cantidad de trabajo.

Pero en este caso, si pudieras traer a los 8 ex-cajeros/cocineros/ahora-limpiadores, y cada uno de ellos (más tú) pudiera tomar una zona de la casa para limpiarla, podrías hacer todo el trabajo en **paralelo**, con la ayuda extra, y terminar mucho antes.
