Yes, that is what Franz Lohen estimated...

The general amount listed is: First, let's look at the blueprint: The pyramid is 756 feet long on each side, 481 feet high, and composed of 2.3 million stones weighing nearly 3 tons each for a total mass of 6.5 million tons. You will find very few individuals in agreement of only 1.5 million stones.

24 hours day and night?

There is no need to ask you to prove anything. The job at hand, was to determine a TIME STUDY. As in, how fast were the men traveling. Did they ever rest? And, how many times was this nessasary? :) You, as I predicted, would not be able to supply a Time Study.

So, 38% less stones, and they worked around the clock, pulling stones up hill for 20 years.

What you supplied is nothing close to a practical time study. Just a short list of assumptions, and Franz Lohen's estimates.
