A Riddle by markbulax: 9:04am On Sep 14, 2022 |
Do you want to guess a riddle? I found an interesting one, I thought long and hard about it "An alarm clock runs 4 minutes slow every hour. It was set right 3 1/2 hours ago. Now another clock which is correct shows noon. In how many minutes, to the nearest minutes, to the nearest minute, will the alarm clock show noon?" |

markbulax:Using 12 noon as the benchmark. It was set right at 8:30am,but it runs 4mins slower every hour and 2mins every half an hour, so by 12noon of the correct clock, it'd be 11:46 am on d slower clock |
