What's a harmonic function?

btw the clock is making go insane!

first time is 1:10
second time is 1:45

thats a :35 difference

third time is 2:30

thats a :45 difference

last should be a :55 difference

it should be 3:25

so it should be pointing at 5

yes, but 1:45 is still pointing DIRECTLY at the 1, even though it should be nearer the 2.

So that leads me to believe that its 2:30

good observation. except for the part where it says "clock." otherwise i would think it would be some trick teaser.

maybe the clock is representing numbers. little hand is tens digit, big hand is ones.

then the sequence is:
12 (+7) 19 (+7) 26 (+7) 33

I'm rethinking #4? Would this be a phrase bc strength is just one word and it asks what phrase it suggests.

I like answer 4. How'd you get 7 and 8?

7. Well, total guess but it looks like an actual clock. If the hand is directly on 3, the other should be on 12. Stupid logic.
8. All the rows seem to add up to 17.

lol i thought the same for 7. nice catch on 8.

:thumbsup: Agreed.
