InfiniteNow Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Okay, I'll post the answer in roughly an hour. Any attempts in by then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrmdave Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I think, if I did my (quick) math correctly, that the clock would be 11 minutes 15 seconds fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I still think it's too poorly written to count as fair, but what the heck. I say the clock (I don't know which one) is fast by 19 minutes 15 seconds. :beer: :beer: In any case, it sounds like it's time for Moody to get a new watch or fix the clunker he's got.:beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteNow Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 the clock would be 11 minutes 15 seconds fast.No, sorry. I still think it's too poorly written to count as fairAgreed. I say the clock (I don't know which one) is fast by 19 minutes 15 seconds.No, sorry. In any case, it sounds like it's time for Moody to get a new watch or fix the clunker he's got.:beer:Maybe he should try a sun dial... :beer: For any who care: The station clock is 3 minutes fast. The morning journey took 65 minutes, and the evening journey therefore took 52 minutes, and the train arrived 57 minutes after it should have left, that is, 3 minutes early.

Jay-qu Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 The station clock is 3 minutes fast. The morning journey took 65 minutes, and the evening journey therefore took 52 minutes, and the train arrived 57 minutes after it should have left, that is, 3 minutes early.I disagree.. I think the riddle is flawed in its own logic, I tried to do the math but found it was inconsistant.. but you never know its not like Im studying second year math, what would I know :Guns: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Sometimes one will stink while the other dosen't??....................InfyWhile that is true, it is not the precise answer I have in mind. The correct answer implies your observation, but with an indirect twisted turn of phrase that makes this riddle a standout. It's not my invention this time; I think I first heard it from my father. The riddle is not susceptible to clues without giving it away, which I intend not to do for a bit.:eek: :eek_big: ;) ;) :hihi: ;) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
