Sue Denim.. Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 This took me ages to figure out. Maybe I'm just slow....Using all the digits from 0 to 9 inclusive once only, fill in the dates on the clock so that it displays the earliest moment of the year..HH/MM/SS DD/MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodast Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 17/48/59 26/03Is that a joke? If it's just being random numbers, I get it. If not, I don't get it. If it's a serious answer and it's correct, I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeornothing Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 17/48/59 26/03That could be right...either that or we were thinking along the same lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClicheGuevara Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Yeah, you think that's stupid until you actually try it. "Swap the 1 with the 3 to get 01 as the month", No can do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam the Eagle Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 i'm pretty sure it's right...can't think of any ither possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClicheGuevara Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Yeah, agreed. The logic is where i'd go aswell. Take the highest numbers out the most you can with the seconds first etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Denim.. Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 If you're into these sorts of puzzles (as I am) you can enter a worldwide treasure hunt and join in all kind of crazy events by playing Perplex City cards. www.perplexcity.comIt's kinda like the search for the golden hare from years ago but for more money and with special fun events thrown in.
