ANSWER: The station clock is 3 minutes fast. The morning journey took 65 minutes, and the evening journey therefore took 52 minutes, and the train arrived 57 minutes after it should have left, that is, 3 minutes early.

(IF you still don't get it...let me know and I'll try to do a graphical representation for you ...You know who you are)

Please do because either the riddle had missing facts in it as I mentioned or this riddle is lacking logic much like your "your are jealous comeback to everything I say"

Explain this, according to which clock/time the morning journey took 65 mins?
There are only 2 mentioned in the riddle, the guy's and the station so my scnearios do make sense since there was the absence of a known, accurate watch to compare to...

If the riddle makes sense and I still can't get the answer then my hat is off to those who get it but as you can see, this riddle even confused Karl and he is a very sharp guy....ehem.

Gee, thanks! ... I think.
This was a very confusing riddle with seemingly contradictory statements, i.e. the one hour journey took 65 minutes. Also, which clock was wrong or were they both wrong?

Exactly, one jacked up riddle but we all know his comeback "I don't write them, I just copy/paste them".

Oh, get over it.

You hush! Don't you have any liquor around to consume?
