I'm posting one puzzle, riddle, math, or statistical problem a day. Try to answer each one and post your answers in the comments section. I'll post the answer the next day. Even if you have the same answer as someone else, feel free to put up your answer, too!

Do You Have the Time of Day?
Which clock works best, the one that loses a minute a day, or the one that doesn't work at all?
Yes, it's the one that doesn't work at all. Twice a day, it could tell you the correct time of day (assuming it isn't electronic!). But the one that is losing a minute a day will only be correct once every 720 days.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.
Please don't leave spam or 'Awesome blog, come visit mine' messages. I'll delete them soon after.
