GAME: MindTrap

you need math on this one too I assume:

If both watches read 2:00

Mr was told it was 2:10 when it was actually 2:05

Mrs/ was told it was 2:15 when it was actually 1:50

so:
Mr. arrived at 2:05
Mrs. arrived 2:25

Mrs. Greenwich had also forgotten her watch so she asked a gentleman passing by for the correct time. The man's watch was ten minutes slow, but he thought it was 15 minutes fast.

Taking into account the errors in the watches, who was at the bank first and at what time did they arrive?

Mr. Greenwich will get there first.

Mr. would arrive at the bank at 1:45. 5 mins fast + 10 mins slow is a 15 minue difference.

Mrs. would arrive at the bank at 2:25.
