Brain Teasers
Three Strikes
I was having trouble sleeping last night and I tossed and turned well into the night. Our local town hall has a clock which strikes on the hour and also strikes just once on the half hour. During one of my more awake moments I heard the clock strike once, but I could not tell what time it was. Half an hour later it struck once again, but I still could not tell what time it was. Finally, half an hour later it struck once again and I knew what the time was. What time was it?
Answer
1.30 in the morning. The first single strike was at 12.30.Hide Answer Show Answer

I've heard this one before, but the person hears four single clock strikes. It's one thirty upon the final strike, but was the final toll for the twelve oclock hour upon the first heard strike.
