Half a What?
Trick
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
Have you ever been told that there is no such thing as half a hole? Is there such thing as a quarter of one?
Hint
Look at the title again...Answer
Yes. 0.25 and 12:45 are both a quarter of 1. Re-looking at the last sentence - I was not asking what a quarter of a hole was, I was asking what a quarter of one was, as in the number one.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

I was wondering why it said "quarter of one". We were supposed to think that "one" was "hole"?
I like it!
Very witty.
This one teaches all the less observant people (like me) to check the grammar.
Great teaser!

Good one. I got it right away though.
Fun teaser.
Nice, easy teaser. I enjoyed it.
I got that "a quarter of one" was a quarter (fourth) of 1.
I got it right.
Nice "trick". Enjoyed figuring it out.
