0 TimeSpaceLightForce Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 @bonanova..Right question..its means pointing to the middle of an arc joining 1 and 2. I think the chicken can't figure that..but can view it as the "distance of a 1 to hour hand's tip is equal to the distance of a 2 to the hour hand's tip". @wg..i.e if both hands points to the middle@harey..yes 0:00,6:00,12:00 are counted.. but it's more than eleven. Can you find the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 CaptainEd Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I feel SO lame: The hour hand points halfway between 1 and 2 at 1:30 and at no other time, I would have thought. What am I missing? (Light bulb goes off), it crows if the hour hand touches halfway between ANY 1 and ANY 2, either way around. So...Since there are 5 instances of "1" and 2 instances of "2", and two ways (clockwise and counterclockwise) between each pair, there must be 20. Admittedly, I couldn't say where the two 1's of "11" are located, but presumably they aren't in the same place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
