Holmes
and Watson had set their pocket watches to the same time. Unknown to them,
Watson's watch was running exactly two minutes per hour slow, and the
watch belonging to Holmes was going exactly a minute per hour too fast.
Later, when they checked their watches again, it was discovered that the
watch belonging to Holmes was exactly one hour ahead of Watson's watch. |

Holmes
looked up from the Times crossword and smiled at Watson. "I'm sure
you will find this of interest, Watson" he said. "RADAR, LEVEL,
ROTOR, REDIVIDER and MOTOR are the first five clues in today's crossword."
"And I suppose you want me to provide you with the answers?" said Watson confidently. "On the contrary, Watson. I completed the entire crossword in one minute twenty seconds. But I noticed that four of these five clues have something in common. Can you tell me the odd one out?" Ignoring the fact that four of the words are the same length, which is the odd one out and why? |
