There is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it back to you. Riku - Throw it straight up in the air. [spoiler=Brain Teaser #4 Hard ANSWERED] One absentminded ancient philosopher forgot to wind up his only clock in the house. He had no radio, TV, telephone, internet, or any other means for telling time. So he traveled on foot to his friend’s place few miles down the straight desert road. He stayed at his friend’s house for the night and when he came back home, he knew how to set his clock.How did he know? No one got the answer correct, so here is the answer. Clocks can measure time even when they aren't wound up. [spoiler= Brain Teaser #5 Medium ANSWERED] Your last good ping-pong ball fell down into a narrow metal pipe imbedded in concrete one foot deep.
