Problem #43 EASY
The Stuck Clock
Adobe Apple Logic Lateral Thinking
Problem Statement
A wall clock stops working and gets stuck displaying a fixed time. A forgetful office worker glances at this broken clock twice each day at random moments. Remarkably, over many days of checking, the broken clock shows the correct time on roughly 2 occasions per day on average. How is this possible, and what does it reveal about how often a stopped clock is accidentally correct?
