What if you all get 1 extra point for that one if you had it correct within +/- 1 hour. I had it wrong anyway and don’t get an extra point. I still win. The runners-up stay the same. Case dismissed! Mistrial! Constable, remove this man from my court room! ---

You know what´s funny, I just played Resident Evil 7 and there is actually a puzzle that asks for you to set a watch to the time of all the clocks in the house (there are at least two grandfather clocks in the house one involving another puzzle). Having to check the clocks in the game reminded me of this quiz somehow. ---

> [@PiecesOfKate](#): > > It’s closer to the 5 but it’s not on it, so it can only be the hour of 4, your honorary-contrary-ness 😛 Mr. PiecesOfKate, your logic appears correct. Until this point: ![immagine](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/1/13e2d99507308704dc46c099919bbb7970c55714.jpg) Your Honor, if we look closely, and try to extend the long clock hand, it is not on “five past four”. Hence, the answer “4:05” is not correct, and all the glory awarded to the winner MUST BE DISCUSSED AGAIN! ![immagine](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/6/6da6ba37fbda8acd34f7076a5135bf0de6e9724e.png) ---

> [@ZakPhoenixMcKracken](#): > > the answer “4:05” is not correct, Might be, buy the point was given for getting the HOUR (4) correct, not the minutes. Exhibit B: the circle of the clock is skewed. This means you are not facing it straight on, and just as your speed indicator in your car, you are making an error of at least 5 mph or km/h ---

This is really funny, 'cause this last part of the thread is making me laugh nicely 🙂 . So I would like to laugh a little more, and trying to keep it on 😛 If it was an official query, an opposition could be raised based on the fact that the two single questions are in contrast the one with the other, because the first one asks for the time (hours plus minutes, which is impossible because minutes are in contrast with hours for a properly working clock) while the second one asks only for the correct hour. But since the second one could be interpreted as a specification of the first one (not in contrast, as it asked to cut off minutes and only watch at hours) I think that there is nothing more to do… so bad because it has been really funny!
