1000.15 – Telling Time Backwards, Part I


As you sit in barber's chair in a shop shared by a barber and a jeweler, you can see the jeweler's three clocks in the mirror. What time it is on each clock? Which one will strike the hour first, what hour will it strike, and how soon?


Solution

The times shown are 9:04, 11:05, and 2:32. The clock on the right will strike first: 3:00 in 28 minutes.
