That's it! Time for a HARDER puzzle!!!
RULES:
Okay, so these things are little riddles called "lateral thinking puzzles"!! They suggest situations that sound really weird, but make so much more sense once you explain them. Yes, YOU!!!! Your job in this fun little thread is to solve the riddle... and you have as many guesses as you like!!!
If you were just guessing, though, we'd probably be here all day. So, you can also ask an unlimited number of yes or no questions! I will answer everypony's questions with "yes", "no", or "irrelevant", irrelevant as in you're asking something that just has nothing to do with the answer, silly!
If nopony gets the answer for a while, I'll give you all a hint! I usually have at least a couple of juicy hints for every riddle, so feel free to ask for one if you're collectively stumped! :D
Be careful, though! These questions can be really tricky, and you often have to take a step to the side in your assumptions to set your hooves back on the right path. You gotta think laterally!
Hopefully, this one is tricky enough that you don't get it right away!
PUZZLE FOUR:
Twilight Sparkle has quite a few clocks in her library, like, nearly a dozen of them!! I think she likes clocks! Maybe they give her some background noise while she's reading books all the time, or...
Where was I again?
Oh yeah, so lets say she has a dozen clocks! Now, when daylight savings rolled around, she had to go to each one and switch 'em forward an hour! She went to all her clocks around midnight and corrected them... except for ONE. This ONE clock, she waited until the next day at nine in the morning to fix, even though she's the most obsessive pony I know with timing and details!!!
Why?
