Riddle # 65
Which one is more acurate: a Clock that only shows 12:00 constantly or one that moves a minute foward everyday? And why?

The one that constantly shows 12:00 because time is a man made concept, thus the unmoving clock is more correct.

no.

 

[Spider-Fan]

It's true, though

 

[wiegeabo]

The 12:00 clock. It will always be right twice in 24 hours.

The moving clock will occasionally only be right once a day.

 

[Abaddon]

YES!!!

I wanted to be sure you weren't being tricky and meant that the clock would always turn back to 12.

 

[Enriquespy]

The 12:00 clock. It will always be right twice in 24 hours.

The moving clock will occasionally only be right once a day.

Correct, but the moving clock will be rigth once every 700 days.

You are only able to use the scale 2 times. How do you determine which marble is the heaviest using only the scale and marbles in 2 weighings.

Take 6 of the marbles and split them in half, then weigh them. If the 6 marbles are equal weight, then you know one of the 2 left over is the heavier one. From there you just weigh between those two. But, if the 6 marbles aren't equal take the side that is heavier and only weigh 2 of the 3. If those two are equal, then you know the heavier one is the one left over. If not then the heavier one on the scale is the one that weighs 1.1 oz

 

[Danalys]

if you put three on either side you know if the heavy one is on either side or not on the scale. you can then do the same for the remaining three if it was on the scale. or just weigh the ones you didn't weigh.

edit: got answered while i was reading then posting
