Pretty good explanation (your first explanation, about the digital watch). I think no one would ever have gotten it.Oblivion said:solution:
02:00 because when they're seen on a digital watch they have 5:6,7:8,9:10,11:12 lines.(The smallest possible ones must be the solution.)

From the 1st set to the 3rd set, you replace the 1's with 0's. Following the same logic of replacing the 1's with 0's, going from the 2nd set to the 4th set you end up with 02:00.
