    A 10 minute (or longer) brain teaser

    Saw this online - took me about 10 mins to find out a solution. Might ease some boredom for some of you if you fancy having a go.

    Got it, finally.

    Feeling smug. Only took me a couple of minutes and a google check agreed with my answer

    Q2

    OK - A counter quiz - mildly forum-centric. - NO GOOGLING!!:

    A sundial has the fewest moving parts of any timepiece. Which has the most?

    No I did not - I quoted back a '?' - I see what's happened - the 'hourglass' is in very faint font colour. - I don't use TapTalk.

    I'm going off to sulk in a black corner

    Yeps, I posted in white so not to spoil the fun for others. Was curious what the correct answer would be when I saw the 'nope'. ;-)
