Gerald arrives at his local railway
station to catch the Waterloo train, which departs hourly at exactly five
minutes past the hour.
Thinking he might have just
missed it, he looks up at the station clock and sees that the hour and minute
hands are coincident between 1 and 2.
Rather surprisingly, he then
knows that he hasn’t missed his train. If the clock is correct, how does he
know?

35) “What’s your phone number, Drew?” asked Eliot.
“Well,” said Drew, “if you
replace the first digit of your phone number with the next lowest odd digit, you
get my number.”
“And the code?”
“Curiously,” said Drew, “the
product of the four digits in that number is the same as the square root of my
phone number.”
“But that’s insufficient
information,” pointed out Eliot.
“Yes,” said Drew. “But if, in
addition to that information, I were to tell you the sum of those four digits,
then you’d have enough.”
What is Drew’s code? Note: In
Britain, the “code” is four digits long.
