New riddle

[duckman]

Things are getting a little dull around here, me thinks, so here is an easy riddle to get brains back into gear.

I have feathers, but not wings.
I can fly, but not walk.

What am I?

[Barry_White]

A Shuttlecock

[outback]

A hole!

[Ivan in Oz]

OUTBACK

Whoa up........................wrong joke.

Where were you headed


Count

[duckman]

A hole!

[duckman]

A Shuttlecock

Yep, that'll do. I would have accepted "arrow" also.

Well done BW.

[Barry_White]

What is about 6in long, sometimes red, has hair on one end and a hole on the other end, sometimes has white stuff on it, sometimes hard and sometimes flexible.

[Tristan Croll]

A paintbrush?

[Barry_White]

I'll pay that one but I was thinking of a toothbrush. But probably all the deviots were thinking of something else.

[duckman]

I'm glad Outback didn't get hold of that one.

I hate to think what he might have done with it.

[Tristan Croll]

Ok, how about this one:

What row of numbers comes next?

1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

I have seen this before - each line 'describes' the previous line (if you read it out loud, it becomes obvious) .. line two says that the first line has "one 1" and line 3 says line two has "two 1s", etc.... So the next line, which is describing

13112221 is

1113213211

(I think) ... Well, the principal is correct anyway!

[Tristan Croll]

Absolutely correct. Your turn!

[hexbaz]

OK - but bear in mind the time difference! I will probably be off line when the correct answer is given so feel free to ask more riddles.

Two clocks were correct at midnight but then one began to gain four minutes every hour. It stopped one and a half hours ago showing 4:48 pm. The clocks run for less than 24 hours.
What time will the other clock be showing ?

S..t maths was my worst subject at school and to make matters worse my brother is a maths teacher.


Okay.... stab in the dark.....03:44 hours
