bonanova Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 A clock chimes the hour, every hour on the hour, and once each quarter hour in between. If you hear it chime once, what is the longest you may have to wait to be sure what time it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bonanova Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 1h and 30min.In worst case you'll hear the clock at 12'45".After 7 chimes you'll know that is 13'45",because the next one will be for 2 o'clock. Correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clock chimes the hour, every hour on the hour, and once each quarter hour in between.
If you hear it chime once, what is the longest you may have to wait to be sure what time it is?
