A PROBLEM IN WATCH-WINDING. This Will Interest the Man With a Mathematical Mind. Every night at 12 p. m. I wind up my watch, giving 12 turns. Should I forget to wind, the watch will run down at 6 o’clock the following morning. It occurs to me that I may be overwinding my watch, and I determine to give only 10 turns each night, and beginning to do so on a Monday night. Will the watch run down, and if so, when? Note: Turns in winding are all of -equal value. The following is the answer generally given, though it is incorrect: As 12 turns carries the watch Jor 24 hours and till 6 o’clock —that is to say, for 30 hours —10 turns would carry it 25 hours, and therefore the watch would never run down. The correct solution is as follows: The watch, of course, always has six hours in hand. The problem starts: "Every night I wind my watch, giving 12 turns.” If every night li turns are required, each turn carries two hours, and therefore 10 turns on Monday night carries it for 20 hours, to 8 o’clock Tuesday evening and six hours in hand —2 o’clock on Wednesday morning. Ten winds on Tuesday night carries to 8 o’clock Wednesday evening and two hours in hand —10 o’clock on Wednesday evening, when the watch runs down. —Strand Magazine.
