I have 7.25.Am I correct?
Thanks

If you refer to "Time Puzzle" in the answerbank (13 Aug) you will find arguments for the time being either 7.25 pm or 7.45 pm dependent on precisely how the question is interpreted. My answer was 7.25 pm.

Hi sarumite
Thank you for your reply
I had not realised the question had been posted previously and did not check first

I just hope that you are able to determine which is the more acceptable answer! good luck.
