Fast Clock, Slow Clock
Level 2 · Medium
At a certain time of day, every day, my clock appears to be an hour fast. At another time of day, it appears to be an hour slow. It is neither fast nor slow. What's wrong with it?
One player reads the premise and knows the answer. Everyone else asks yes/no questions until they reconstruct what happened.
Hold, or double tap.
The answer
The LCD light on the lower left of the hour digit is broken, so that the hour number 6 appears to be a 5, and 8 appears to be a 9. During hours 2, 10, and 12, it will be clear that the clock is broken.
