Physics news on Phys.org

I'm not fond of clocks either @.@ but it's worth a shot.. pretty soon I'll be home and I can try using photoshop to dismantle these clocks.

(I need to see things in order for them to make sense in my silly head ^^)





I'm at a loss. The numbers I thought could be the answer aren't yielding me anything. Any luck on your end?

I'm just not getting the first clock to quite fit in with the patterns I find in the other clocks... so I fudge up the last one...
Me neither O.o
 
From clock two > three > four and so on.. I can find a pattern...

And I think I am almost positive what that minute hand is...

But fitting in the clock from one > two and getting the hour hand is what might be fudging me up...
 
I thought I saw a pattern with both hands from clock two on, but...
<It looks like, in a couple of places, the hands are off by one minute mark from the obvious pattern. It kind of skews things if you look at that. In addition, I'm thinking the pattern may lie in the total number of minutes passing from clock to clock, but I can't be certain. I'll have to look into that next.[/color]>
 
I thought of that too Ffut, because it does seem as if it's not on the number marks, so it can be misleading...

When you think it's four it may actually be three, etc.. etc...

@.@
 
Well, I'm off work. If I didn't have this dang job to do I'd wager I'd have gotten a bit farther. I might work on it more over the weekend, but it is a holiday weekend so no guarantees. Good luck guys!
 
Aww.. my brain is full of numbers with no use... It feels like I've tried almost everything with these clocks now.. maybe I should go to sleep and try solving them again after the weekend..
 
I'll be back on sunday btw.. I'm going away..so good luck with the riddlesolving :) But don't leave me to far behind, aight? ;)
 
Well, got out of work early. Will settle down to this riddle for a bit before I go off and confuse my mind with other things ^^
 
Why can't the answer just be something easy like 11.20 or something my mind actually can figure out in the middle of the night without a meltdown.. xD

Well again, good luck to you kitn,ffut and the rest of you, maybe I can be of any help on sunday instead of now :)

Bye and goodnight

Well, by just following the hands, like it says, and then finding the hour hand...I can get the time I "think" it is. However, if I have the right time, then my format is wrong...I have tried roman numerals as well...

I see so many ways to get to the "answer", but no luck on how to input this answer.

I get answers, but none of them follow a definite pattern whenever I take the first clock into account...

@.@ So confused...

If you "walk" along the hands, then you can get a definite minute hand. The hour hand can be deduced in many ways.
If I have the right answer, and can't move on because of the format...then grrr.
If I have the wrong answer, then that is alright, but how can I know? I don't want to waste time and have it end up being the format.
 
I've followed the minute hand pattern, persay... but yeah, because of the hour hand and the format... One or both are wrong and I'm not sure which o.o

The thing about the hour hand is, I have tried every hour value with the minute value I got and nothing works. This leads me to believe that it may indeed be the format.
 
I did that too, when I first made the complaint about the format. That's where boxcutter mentioned that using '-'s '_'s ':'s or '.'s wasn't feasible, so that left either doing it numerically, or spelling it out, and both have proved ineffective.

he said that there has been a "_" in the answer before though...
 
He also said there was obvious reasons why the '_' was used...

It doesn't seem to make sense to use '_' when telling time tho, does it?

@.o?
 
Between all the hour hands in each step the sequence is:

1 6 8 6 8 6 8 6 8 6 ?

and between all the minute hands in each step the sequence is:

6 5 6 8 6 8 6 8 6 8 ?

Something worth thinking about? Maybe?

Off topic: I'm going to Umeå in about 5 minutes, yeay, haha :)
