I know - so was I! Don't seem to be getting far with the most recent puzzle though . . .

OK. I'm going with 12:36 pm.

My coach went downhill and used gravitational foce to assist it. I'll say 12.25.

Looks like 12.36 is about as close as we might get - not sure why you didn't get it spot on but the explanation is:

To arrive at noon the car must have travelled 140/48 x 60 minutes = 175 minutes
So the start time was 2hrs 55mins before noon or 9.05am

The bus would take 140/40 x 60 minutes to travel the journey = 210 minutes
So the bus arrives 3hrs 30mins after setting off
9.05am + 3hrs 30mins = 12.35pm

It was my calculators fault. OK. here we go.

I know a word of letters three, add two and fewer there will be. What word am I?

Must be "few" - add "er" and it becomes "fewer"!

You got it Pat. Was it too easy or are you that smart?

I reckon it's like a lot of questions of this type - you either spot it straight away or sit scratching yer head for an hour or two.

How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you. It doesn't bounce off anything, there is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it back to you.
