    Hi, sorry. I have noticed its a bit tempermental. If you are getting the 'operation aborted' essage, I usually get round this by stripping back the URL to shilling.co.uk then clicking thru to the comp on the home page ;)

    thanks i did try that but it still failed when i got to the comp page...will try again a bit later!!
  • I can open it but can't for the life of me work it out. I can't fathom the clue either!
    Thanks to all posters and contributers :beer:
  • Could it be "5"? The gap between A and B is 3; the gap between B and C is 5; so the gap between C and D could be 7, which would have the hand pointing at number 5.

    not very good at puzzles but could it be 12?

    there is 2hrs 20mins between clock a and clock b
    there is 5 hours between clock b and c

    I have totally confused myself now sorry
    If at first you don't succeed try, try, try again.

    Could this be it: Looking a where the fingers point on each clock

    a) 2 plus 4 is 6
    b) 5 plus 7 is 12
    c) 8 plus 10 is 18
    D) would be 12 as 12 plus 12 is 24
    All muliples of 6 and the clue "Time isn't on your side" meaning it's nothing to do with time.
  • The answer is two. The minute hand is always 2 behind the hour hand -> hour hand must be on two.

    In A & B the minute hand is 2 in FRONT of the hour hand but two BEHIND in C.
  • I'm liking Tinabe's answer, sounds very plausible to me. I spent ages working out lines of symmetry and reflections and didnt get anything too conclusive. Think I will go with 12.
