Clock puzzles - Section 1
Practice and master this topic with our carefully crafted questions.
Starting with the top clock face and moving clockwise around the others, the minute hand points to the value 3 less than that pointed to by the hour hand. Repeat for the other clock faces, subtracting 4, 5 and 6 from the hour hand values.
Start with the top left clockface, and move around the others in a clockwise direction. The value pointed to by the hour hand equals the value pointed to by the minute hand, subtracting 4 for the first clockface, 5 for the next, then 6 etc.
Multiply the hour hand value by 2 and add the minute hand value. This total is always 15.
Start with the top left clockface, and move around the others clockwise. The minute hand moves backwards by 15 minutes, then 20, then 25 etc, while the hour hand moves forward 2 hours, then 3, then 4 etc.
Starting with the top clockface, and moving clockwise around the others, the minute hand moves forward 15 minutes, while the hour hand moves back 2 hours each time.
Start with the top left clockface, and move around the others in a clockwise direction. The sum of the numbers pointed to by the hour and minute hand follows the sequence 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18.
Starting with the top left clockface and working clockwise around the others, the sum of the numbers pointed to by the 2 hands starts at 3 and increases by 2 each time.
The sum of the values pointed to by the hands on each clock equals 12.
Starting with the top clockface and moving clockwise around the others, the hour hand moves forward by 1 hour, then 2, then 3, while the minute hand moves forward 10 minutes, then 20, then 30.
The sum of the numbers pointed to by the hour and minute hands is always 11.
