0 harey Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 There are 60 marks, so each represents a minute. The hour hand is on a mark when the minute hand is on {0, 12, 24, 36, 48}. When the minute hand is on a mark, the second hand is on noon. Blue cannot be the second hand. (It would be on noon and it would be 18 minutes past/before a full hour.) 1) Yellow is on 12. Mauve indicates 24 minutes. Blue indicates 42 [minutes] = 8 + 2/5 [hours] = 8:24 2) Yellow is on 12. Mauve indicates 36 minutes. Blue indicates 18 [minutes] = 3 + 3/5 [hours] = 3:36 3) Mauve is on 12 ... -> 3:36 4) Mauve is on 12 ... -> 8:24. The watch could be rotated upside down, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
