Minute Mystery: Coded Encounter

Bite-sized brain teaser to solve in a minute or less.

 

 

Coded Encounter

Agent Lopez needs to meet a confidential informant at their usual secret spot today. His informant has sent him a coded note with the meeting time. Using the coded note, can you figure out what time Agent Lopez needs to be at the secret spot?


  • The one that comes before the first one and the last one.
  • Half of a half.
  • It’s not in the morning.

 

 

Solution

  • The first hint is for the hour. The first one and the last one in a clock's cycle is 12. The one that comes before 12 is 11.
  • Half in a clock would be half an hour or 30 minutes. Half of that would be quarter of an hour or 15 minutes.
  • If it's not in the morning, then it's not AM but PM.

Agent Lopez needs to be at the secret spot at 11:15 PM.
