Last Problem:
What is unusual about the following paragraph?
It looks so ordinary you’d think nothing was wrong with it at all – and, in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. But you must do it without coaching: I’m not going to assist you in any way. No doubt, if you work at is a bit, it will dawn on you. Who knows until you try? So hop to it, try your skill and pray for luck. Par is about half an hour.
Answer:
There is no ‘e’ in the entire sentence. The letter “e” is one of the
most commonly used letters in words.
Today’s Problem
You are at a fancy party at the Governor’s mansion
and want to stay longer because you are having fun.
It is getting late. As you think about the situation,
you realize that if it were one hour later, it would
be twice as long past midnight as it would be if it
were only right now.
When you start thinking like that, you’ve been up
that long.
What time is it now?
