i got the right answer..
i got the right answer..
This is a quick one, to see if you are awake and paying attention.
When you are in the trick category, I will look for the deceiving point, first. Of course, after reading it throughly through. This was very sly, but I know you can add a little bit more of a hint of spice, to get tougher ones made. Come on, now!
I got it! Good teaser, funnier answer
EASY
But a good one
Thanks
But a good one
Thanks
Very Nice!!
omg i am so dumb i didnt get that. I even drew a clock (cause i only have digital clocks where the computer is) and drew the hands where the teaser said they were. But then again i never get teasers!! so its all good
Clever. All in the words!
Hickory dickory dock... time to get a new clock.
Very easy but very funny! Loved it!
Very easy but very funny! Loved it!
Quick n easy but funny
Very clever. A good one.
Just because the clock is set wrong doesnt mean you need a new one...
A good teaser on an old line
In the days of didgital clocks how qbout this for a answer. What is a big hand and little hand??
good one got it right away..the answer was in the teaser.
Noon ia noon ia noon no matter wjhat the clock says. Good joke, easy teaser. Thanks for sharing.
I'm having a brain freeze this morning - this actually stumped me for a minute or two! Good one to get me moving this morning!

Wow this is a laugh! Thanks!
Ps: this is definitely going in my favorites!

"Is this a joke?" I thought. I looked at the category. Then I reread the question. Oooh....
Nice one. Made me smile, and considering what a rotten couple of days I've been having that's an accomplishment. I'll have to try this one out on a few ppl.
Good one.
Heeheeeheeeeheeee!
I answered: time to change the battery in the clock. All my analog clocks run on batteries!

Easiest one yet for me. Apparently it caught a few of you slipping though. ;-)
LOL Easy as pie. Had a good laugh, and I can't wait to try it on the youngsters. Keep them coming.
I just don't get the point of something simple like this.
I missed it too... .
Easy... yes!! But I read it too fast, and didn't see the word NOON. duh!!!

You don't have to get it. Just enjoy.
Great teaser, by the way.
Great teaser, by the way.
That was a fun one. Extremely easy if you're paying attention, but still good. Great job, especially for your first!
Really, really, really easy! Seeing that it was a trick, you would think most people would look back and reread...but I guess not!
Anyway, still a cute teaser! Good job fooling some.

i guess it was cool it made me think a second
you didnt trick me.it was easy
Cute, I didn't get it. But, was easy after I saw the answer.
Tricky, tricky, but i knew it!
I'm smiling!!!! Couldn't wait to read the comments. I finally learned that the trick category is usually a trick.
I got it right away so I feel smart today! It would be so easy to read this fast and miss that it says noon at the beginning though. If you did this it might be "time" to slow down!
it was easy but i liked it. and you almost had me for a minute.wink wink.
Very easy, but still cute.
Ok time for me to get a new clock and READ the whole question.
What do you mean 3:25 isn't right?
(walking into my corner to pout 'cause I got gotten)

So easy I had to laugh and wonder what the hint could possibly be, laughed again and checked the answer just in case! Great end to my stressful day. TXS
Jan 10, 2007
the answer is 5:45:about45 seconds
Two of my friends were fooled by this and they repair clocks!
I was actually thinking "it's time to wake up....." Assuming you were dreaming the impossible
A trick just in time to save the day.
Nice one. More please.
Nice one. More please.
at first i was trying to figure out what time that would be (i only have digital clocks in my house too) but then i read it again and saw the "noon"... i read really fast so thats sometimes a problem for me
Your question is very simple. "What time is it?". Well, the time when I was reading your question is 2:30 PM (Pacific Time). That's my answer.
i got the answer.
but i smiled haha

i talk like simon cowell!!!! lol
I can't believe I fell for that!
Nice teaser.
Nice teaser.
wow good one, you got me!
Wow! I didn't even notice the "At noon". lol
Nice teaser and a lot of fun. I got it right away.
I checked the hint after I posted the previous comment and it was more fun than the teaser. Great one.
Good one for the 1st graders.
Fun!
I agree with doehead's idea, although since I work in a learning center, I would have said 3rd grade.
When I first read the riddle and determined the word noon wasn't an optical illusion, I immediately recalled the punchline to a joke I learned when I was 8 or 9, "Time to get your clock fixed!" An editing suggestion: indicate 'for youngsters' on the top. It's scary to think that people past elementary school didn't "get" this.

Time to get new batteries.. Was gonna say time to get a new clock but already taken.
I got it
And my sister said 35
I agree with most players. Easy, and fun.
haha or maybe it's lunchtime lol
I got it! no I didn't i feel stupid
how did i get it wrong when i've seen, like, 50 variations of it?
I can't believe I didn't get that.
I can't believe I didn't get that.
Can't believe I didn't get it.I am really observitive
Got it quickly and easily!! Good one!
Totally missed the "at noon" part of the question but still said "time to get a new clock' as my line of thinking was the big had would not be directly on the 5 at quarter past, it would have moved slihtly.
*slightly, not slihtly, the "g" on my keyboard sticks and don't always notice right away it is missing.
it must be easy cause i got it right away.
All I saw was Noon.
I got it!!
HABS, when the big hand is on the 5, it's twenty-five past! Time for your clock to get a new owner?
I got it because it's like those dummy tests where you ask someone a question where the answer is in the question. I do those often.
it is good to know that I still remember things from about 60 years ago!!
My first thought was - it's noon, and you're still in bed. What time is it? Time to get a job!!!!
What does it mean if you are still in bed at noon? For me, it means I'm retired!!
I did have to read through the question twice to catch the first two words, but got it pretty quickly - Nice Teaser!!

Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it right away from the first two words in the teaser.
Clever. I was caught.
