"I went to bed at 8 'clock in the evening and wound up my clock and set the alarm to sound at 9 'clock in the morning. How many hours sleep would I get before being awoken by the alarm?"

13? Right? I'm a bit confused since my only choices for an answer were:

A. How should I know?

B. Hmm..

C. 1 hour.

D. 18hrs.

I'm going to feel really dumb if someone one here points something out that I missed and makes me realize its a trick question T_________T I just don't get it. (Edit: I think I might get it now... But I still want someone to give me the answer AND explain it xD)

The answer is A. "How should I know?"

Let me tell you why...

Read the description.

How can you wind your clock if you have already gone to bed? So you will get an undetermined ammount of sleep because you will over sleep or under sleep.

{A} is the only logical answer!! not because of the 8 at evening and 9 in morning but... it says BEFORE being awoked by the alarm... who knows it could be 1 hour or 6 hours.. so you rlly dun know... he never said that they woke up because of the alarm... but how many hours he wouldve gotten before he woke up for any reason!! so you rlly dun have enough info!! o.o get it??

eedddiiitt: mindspank does have another good reason for A too... so yesh yesh! choose whichever one!

I answered A, but it didn't show me the answers I got wrong.. Boo. (Oh, I didn't look at this and then answer. No no.. I did it on my own and then posted this thread because I was confused and curious..)

I don't like questions like that, I tend to overanalyze....

I didn't do that very much on this question.. only a bit after I read it over and over.

But on personality tests(Like the ones you take for jobs, and no I wasn't trying to get a job but I did want to try one) I really do over analyze..

haha wait. Is this from the Impossible Quiz?

**A_Forever** · 12-30-2008, 02:10 AM

No. Some random one I decided to take out of boredom.

I would have gone with A because going to bed is not the same as going to sleep so if it takes you an hour to fall asleep then it would be 12 hours but if it took you 2 hours to fall asleep it would have only been 11 hours - so how would you know?

the answer should be you should sleep for 8 to 9 hour a day
