Make the number 1010101 out of sticks and rearrange them into 950 like so.

Sorry Commander, but I'll have to wait until I'm sitting at a PC to see any graphic you posted.

Just how are you looking at the forum without a PC anyway (just curious)?
Adept, it looks from my PC like he has found a legitimate solution.
16 sticks of the same length in both numbers; no deformed numbers or anything.
Good try, bonus point for it, but no cigar. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gifQuote:

All right, question #304 is now worth 5 points instead of 3.
Hint: Klarg was on the right path.
Still too hard? :confused:
nm, I can't do math no more
Now I remember what I was thinking....Quote:

5 points to you, OskarTheSmurf, and welcome to WD. ;)
There is a grandfather clock that chimes the appropriate number of times to indicate the hour, as well as chiming once at each quarter hour.
If you were in the other room and heard the clock chime just once, what would be the longest period of time you would have to wait in order to be certain of the correct time? (The clock is working properly and is set at the correct time.)
__________
You would have to wait 90 minutes between 12:15 and 1:45. Once you had heard seven single chimes, you would know that the next chime would be two chimes for 2 o'clock.
2 hours 12 to 1 to 2. It would only chime once each 15 minutes during this time period.Quote:
