What's the Time? (Posted on 2003-07-30) Difficulty: 2 of 5
At a certain time I looked at a 24 hour digital clock and noticed some things about the time:

1)The number in the hours section plus the number in the minutes section makes 60.

2)One of the digits in the minutes section is the square root of the other digit in the minutes section.

3)The sum of the digits in the minutes section is the number in the hours section reversed. What was the time?

(In reply to re: i don't kare wat u all say by Viet)

damnit the answer is 4:39 and this is why

2nd clue state that 1 digit is the square root ofthe other in the min hand so option are
42 24 39 93 in the min hand there are only 60 so 93 is out

the 1rst clue say the number in the hour plus the min = 60 so it'z either
min hour
42 18
24 36
39 21
the third clue say the min sum equal the hour reverse
only 39 and 21 qualifies this
everyone thought the time b 21:39
but they forgot the hour hand is on 21 not 21 hours so when the hand is on 21 the hour is 4 o clock yea following me the min stay so i say the time is 4:39 finnally there you go hope itz rite cuz thats alot of typing
