Brain teaser # 13

yes Soniya

It should be more than 8 seconds!!

After 1st chime, wait for 2 seconds to hear the second chime which would also take some time..

Then after the second chime is heared, after the wait of two more seconds the third chime could be heard..

In this manner the total time would be calculated as under-

2sec + time taken by 2nd chime + 2 sec + time taken by 3rd chime + 2 sec + time taken by 4th chime + 2 sec 

agreed

Can u pls give me the links of such other Brain Teasers?

THAT'S THE SAME ANSWER RAGHURAM AND I GAVE...

BUT MORE THAN 8 SECONDS CANNOT BE GIVEN AS PRECISE ANSWER BECAUSE MORE THAN 8 SECONDS INCLUDE 9 SEC, 10 SEC, 11 SEC ETC ONWARDS...

SO PRECISELY AFTER 8 SECONDS IF YOU WON'T HEAR ANYMORE CHIME

WILL CONCLUDE THAT ITS 4 O' CLOCK...  PRATHEEKJI PLEASE NOTE THAT POINT..

 

Point noted :-)

But its worth a thought !!

 

Then for how long the chime sound continues to be heard is to be assumed. I know that mine is not the precise one but still it's open for any no. of seconds taken as assumption for the chiming sound.

If the chime sound continues to be heard for more than 2 seconds(if chimer is rung loud or due to echo sound effect) then ur answer proves to be wrong. The time gap b/w two chimes is 2 sec. So apart from that time gap also the 3 times when ringing sound is heard is to be considered.

So actually not after 8 sec but after 8 + 3( no.of sec the chimer's sound continues to be heard) seconds is the better answer according to my opinion as its bit elaborative than yours. Otherwise mine answer would also have beeen same as yours!

 

6 seconds...

@ Rohit: Its incorrect!!

If it is 3 o'clock, the clock will chime 2 times after the first chime is heard.
Since the time gap between any two chimes is 2 seconds, this will take 2 × 2 = 4 seconds.

Now, to know what time it really is, you have to wait an 'extra chime gap' to see if the clock chimes again.
Adding the extra 2 seconds, the total time required is 4 + 2 = 6 seconds.
