Me neither elliemay but some do. I think asking for unknown extras in adverts is strange or pieces of music that appear for 2 seconds in some random commercial but it's a Q&A site and so it is open for people to ask questions, no matter how strange others perceive them.

To be honest judging by the clues, it's not exactly the Times cryptic:

word for expressing the time (1'5)

Seriously? But people struggle with all sorts. If they want help then the AB doors are always open.
