121) Late one night, as you are driving along a deserted highway, you are gobsmacked to see a flying saucer hovering just ahead of you. You can see that it is not spinning and that at its centre is a large glowing orange dome surrounded by a ring of small pink and green circular lights. Hitting the brakes hard, you screech to a halt. Then, as you look on in awe, you notice that the pattern of pink and green lights changes and that with each new pattern a new word is beamed onto the road beneath. In total, you discern four different patterns and words. All four patterns are shown below, but only three of the four very well-known words. What is the missing word and why is it definitely the missing word when there appear to be a number of equally possible answers? Answer

124) One lunchtime grandpa peered up at this clock from his armchair. Due to his short-sightedness, though, he couldn’t see if the minute hand was pointing to the fourth or fifth minute division line after twelve. He therefore asked grandma, who was seated much nearer the clock, which line it was pointing to. “Well,” she replied, “it is pointing to one of those minute division lines.” Surprisingly, grandpa then knew that it was four minutes past twelve. How did he know? Answer
