riddles RIDDles RIDDLES

Nice Bartdude. You got it!

 

You have the misfortune to own an unreliable clock.
This one loses exactly 24 minutes every hour.
It is now showing 3:00am and you know that is was correct at midnight, when you set it.
The clock stopped 1 hour ago.
what is the correct time now?

 

3 pm?

 

nope

 

midnight?

 

no

 

2:36 am?

 

no

 

11:48pm

 

nope try again

 

1:12?

 

no

 

5:12?

 

4:12? or 4:36? I don't really understand what it means by losing 'exactly 24 minutes every hour'. I would expect the clock to be faster in a constant rate, but 'exactly 24 minutes every hour' could mean that the clock loses 24 minutes whenever it goes through a full cycle.

Plus the answer to my riddle on page 9, since nobody got it.
Answer: directions (North, East, West, South)

 

Heres an obvious one.

Fill in the blanks.

 

Wait a minute, does that count as a riddle? (I am not saying that it is not, Stanley Richards. I genuinely do not know if it is a riddle.)

 

no

it means that for every hour in real live, the clock only shows 36 min
the awnser is wrong though

 

Easy, 6.00 A.M xD

For those of you who needs an explanation, every hour in real time, the clock moves 36 mins(60-24). From midnight to 3 AM, there are 60 x 3=180 mins. For every 36 mins on the clock, 1 hour passed in real time. So, divide 180 mins by 36 mins and you get 5, meaning 5 hours has passed in real time but since the clock stopped an hour ago, add another hour to it and you get 6 AM ^^

 

right on jolly well done

 

Yes, But time's awasting, figure it out already.
