THE RAILWAY STATION CLOCK.
(
Money Puzzles)
A clock hangs on the wall of a railway station, 71 ft. 9 in. long and 10
ft. 4 in. high. Those are the dimensions of the wall, not of the clock!
While waiting for a train we noticed that the hands of the clock were
pointing in opposite directions, and were parallel to one of the
diagonals of the wall. What was the exact time?
Answer:
The time must have been 43+7/11 min. past two o'clock.
