  • A great riddle

    Figure this one out:

    A man in the basement has 18 clocks, 18 clocks that always stops, when one clock stops, the man has to get up and make that clock run or the kitty in the basket dies.

    3 kitties in the basket, furry and warm, one gray, one black, one gray and white. If two or more clocks stop and the man is late, one kitty gets blown apart by dynamite. But the dynamite is under the ground, where the gimp is also a prisoner, under the ground, where no can hear a sound.

    So the gimp screams, the gimp is in pain, everytime 3 clocks stops, the gimp opens his mouth and tries to shout. But under the ground, where there is no sound, the sand and the rocks will fill his rotten mouth. When the gimp is full, he extends his hand and gives the dynamite to the man. The man in the basement takes the dynamite, but there's no light, so he can't blow up the kitty unless he gets fire.

    The candle makers have the fire, but blood they require, sacrifice one kitty by crushing its head with a rock, make miau miau and the gimps giving hand will stop. So the man in the basement has to make it silent, to get the dynamite, to get the fire, to blow up the kitty who is the least pretty.

    What time is it?

        No, first of all, don't enforce your racist timezones on others, second of all, it's not that easy.

              Do the clocks stop regularly? Always one clock at a time?

                Regularly, yes, one clock at a time, yes, but of course during a time period, several clocks can become stopped.

                  Can kitties be removed from the basket?

                  If one clock stops and he smashes one kitty against the wall, will another kitty die?

                    Kitties can't be removed, and if one clock stops and then he has to smash one kitty but then he can get back and fix the clock and make it run again, so by default, only one kitty dies.

                      Yeah but if he does fix it it won't get to two clocks, or to three which we need to get the dynamite. So I'd rather not fix it, no?

                            on which clock are we trying to figure out the time? if a clock stops, and has to be started again, then CLEARLY it will show a different time that the other clocks that HAVENT stopped...?
