Radio Riddle

[Jon L. Obscene]

One the radio at work on a sunday they do a riddle, you text or phone in and win a prize etc.
Well todays really annoyed me (cos I could'nt work it out lol )

I'm very tired, so after the evening news at 10:30pm I wound my clock and set the alarm for 12 noon.......(working on the assumption I fell asleep at 10:30pm) how many hours did I sleep?

1 and half hours?

[bigboab]

If it was a 12 hour alarm. 1.5 hours.
If it was a 24 hour alarm 13.5 hours.

Somehow this is too early for me.

@Hobbes.........Yeah but why? if he went to sleep at 10:30pm and set the alarm for 12 noon?
See I thought 1.5 hours but only because 13.5 was too obvious

@Bob.......I know, it's a riddle, it's always too early for riddles

I don't think you can get 24 hour wind-up clocks.

Therefore I go with the one and a half hour option.

That was my thinking too (although I didn't know I was Hobbes so anything goes really I guess )

That was the correct answer, whether or not a 24 hour wind up clock is available is arguable

Must make a new rule in my next game "No people allowed to play who may be cleverer than me"

I realise this only leaves about 3 people, but at least I wont feel so fik
