Can you get a dog to talk by converting a combination of three numbers into a time of day? You’ll need to adjust your thinking cap into a new puzzle solving position when you are given a combination of three numbers and then timed to see how fast you can unlock the their hidden time. The first number of the combination is the sum of all the time digits. For example, if the time to solve was 1:23, the first number of the combination is 1+2+3 or 6. The second number is the sum of the hour plus the minutes; 1 + 23 for 24. The last number is the first two digits added to the last digit or 12 +3 giving you 15. So given a combination of 6-24-15, how quickly can you determine the secret time of 1:23?
