The Gryphon and the Mock Turtle<br />

This explanation did not quite satisfy <strong>Alice</strong>.<br />

"Suppose we changes the subject," said the Gryphon, "we've<br />

talked enough about tarts! Here, let me tell you a good puzzle about<br />

the Royal clocks."<br />

clocks?" asked <strong>Alice</strong>.<br />

"Well, you see, the King of Hearts has his clock, and the Queen of<br />

Hearts has hers. They both chime on the hour. The King's clock<br />

chimes faster than the Queen's—in fact, the King's clock makes<br />

three chimes in the same time that the Queen's clock makes two.<br />

One day, at a certain hour, the two clocks started chiming at the<br />

same time. After the King's clock finished chiming, the Queen's<br />

clock made two more chimes. At what time did this occur?"<br />
