This puzzle is a part of the Monthly Topic Challenge #6: Is it actually that [time] once more?.
Last weekend I caught up with a buddy I hadn’t seen shortly. I went spherical his home on the Friday evening with an enormous bottle of whiskey and the 2 of us put the world to rights, chatting deep into the early hours of Saturday morning.
After a lot chat and joking about – and far, a lot whiskey – I ultimately fell asleep on the couch, waking up some unknown time later feeling very tough certainly. My mouth was painfully dry, my head was pounding, and I had completely no thought what time it was.
I had foolishly left my telephone at residence and do not put on a watch, so I gazed up on the clock on the wall as a substitute, solely to seek out it utterly obscured by brilliant, vibrant stickers of animals, fruit, legendary creatures… all kinds.
Had I been pondering straight I might have simply turned on the TV and flicked to a information channel or one thing, however who can clarify the thought processes of a person with a hangover…? Instead, I nudged my buddy till he woke and requested what was up with the clock and the stickers.
“It’s my daughter,” he grunted. “She simply loves clocks and all issues comparable. She’s been taking part in with all of them – transferring them round, altering the instances on them, overlaying them in stickers… Only certainly one of them now tells the right time at present.”
I requested which one, and my buddy replied:
“The one with a dragon, a ghost, a fairy, and a gnome on.”
Then he fell again to sleep with a wry look on his face. In no situation to query, I then spent far too lengthy traipsing round the home, checking all the varied timepieces I might discover. Here are some pictures of all of them:
Try as I would I can’t work out which one my buddy was referring to – which one is right, and what time was it after I took its {photograph}?
TASK: What time is it? (You might want to establish which timepiece reveals the right time…)
