I thought (3) was 1 1/2 Hours, and (7) is usually the match, assuming you have just entered the deserted house, but these cryptic questions always throw me...

I think 3) is 1 hour. One to start, one after half hour, and the third after the hour.


Other than that I got two or three more wrong...

along the same lines... If a wheel has 60 spokes, how many gaps are there?

No.3 - my reasoning was one now, one on the 1/2 hr, and one on the hour which will keep you high for another 1/2 hour - total 1 1/2 hors.
This higher maths is doing my head in---
