Having an education pays off!! Woo hoo.. Score one for the public school system!!! Like shooting ducks in a row.
 
I got all but the degree one right
caust I had no clue what the fuckt he question was asking
 
Interesting clock, if the hour hand only moves 1 degree in 1 hour, it will take 360 hours for it to get all the way around the clock:D

Very good excercise for the brain, thanks
 
I knew the expected answer for Q3 was "glass", but glass is what a greenhouse (1 word) is made from. A green house is one composed of green materials.
 
I tried this out on a number of staff at work - geez, you'd be amazed at some of the answers....lol

ANSWER: "1 DEGREE"

Actually, unless I'm brain-dead (and that MAY very well be, since I'm sick) the premise of this question is false. The hour hand moves 1/12 of 360 degrees in one hour, or 30 degrees - so it goes all the way around in twelve hours.

If it only moved one degree per hour, then it would only move 12 degrees between noon and midnight and would point about halfway between the twelve and the one.
 
I aint so smarter as you guys but,

Heh. That was fun. Thanks for the brain-candy.

Damn, never mind the brain candy, although it was fun, thanks for the eye candy! You have a great av!;)
 
:) That was fun... Thanks for sharing.... I'll have to see how many the Hubby gets right when he gets home from work. :D

You are a mean and evil person.











Loved it, failed miserably. This is sort of funny.

I was having trouble yesterday with my medication, something was really fucking with me, I couldn't stay awake, I was a bit confused, and kinda emotional. Bad enough the wife talked me into going in to see the doctor. I guess I was on too many downers, so I have to cut back on some of the pain meds. No big deal. But the funny part is they gave me this mental alertness test, a bunch of questions to see how alert I was, duh. Questions like what day of the week is it, what season, etc.

If I had taken THIS test yesterday god only knows where I would be today. Pounding on the padded walls or something...
 
Hey I can't be a 'real' blonde, cause I just discovered that I'm smart! (But hubby failed miserably......thanks for the 'teasing' ammo for the next three years!) ;)
 
Such a revolutionary treatment needs careful consideration.

What say we try 3 or 4 thousand times.:D :rose: :heart:

Actually, you're quite wrong. the question implicitly stipulated an "if" statement at the beginning, thereby defining its own premise, and not relying upon one which would ordinarily occur in reality. Since the question is based on the first line, "IF ON A CLOCK THE HOUR HAND MOVES 1/60th OF A DEGREE EVERY MINUTE...", the premise has been pre-defined as a 1/60 degree movement every minute, and has no bearing on the eventual outcome upon a real clock.
Its just meant to tease your brain, not to revamp the clock industry.
