I put pop tarts in a toaster

And sadly Q5 is wrong. If your hour hand only moves one degree per hour, in twelve hours it will have moved twelve degrees, i.e just less than halfway from twelve to one. The correct answer is half a degree per minute ( thirty per hour). Sorry, but there it is.

Newt, you need the services of an horologist (Q5) if the hour hand is moving that slowly!

 

Normally the hour hand moves half a degree in one minute, 30 degrees in an hour, and 360 degrees in twelve hours. (assuming we are talking about a normal twelve-hour analogue clock)

Excalibur can type faster than me! - must say I enjoyed the challenge tho'

[Gray-Catchpole]

me and the kids had a good laugh with that new t cheers.

Do me a favour ?

Contact the register of births,deaths & marriages in Gretna Green & explain to them what an horologist is.

 

When Dian & i went to get married there they couldn't find it so they wouldn't accept it as my fathers (deceased) occupation.

 

It just isn't the same having

Fathers Occupation "Maker of Timepieces" on your marriage certificate
