Riddle of the Day

[acoustikarl]

up until the 11 seconds I was in agreement but how did you figure 6 ring takes 5 seconds yet 12 rings take 11 (5x2=11)? Shouldn't it be more like 10seconds?

One second between each ring.

[TurcoLoco]

One second between each ring.

Right, so after the 12th ring, you still have to wait another second to know it is done.....

You can't outsmart a mad man!

11 seconds.

The bells of the clock tower signal six o'clock with 6 lound rings, taking 5 seconds to do so. How long will it take for the bells to signal twelve o'clock?

ANSWER (Congrats acoustikarl and Mathster): 11 seconds.

But only a madman would miss the fact that a clock will only ring 12 times max

Why are manhole covers round?

There is no way for the round cover to fit thru the manhole.

A square cover could be turned diagonally and dropped into the hole.

This mad man never argued the fact that it would ring 12 times max, you completely (as usual) missed my point....sheesh.

My point, was you don't have a point...once you hear the 12th ring, there will be no more, so there is no need to wait for another second

[cauzomb]

but you could take the thing apart and bang on the ringer all you want....

Why are manhole covers round?

ANSWER (Congrats Mathster): So they can't fall through the hole.
