| Dec 18, 2020 at 1:36 | comment | added | feelinferrety | @VassilisParassidis you're supposed to get to 50 from 47, not the other way around. In the other answer, the 47% is a pre-existing notion that is a current, observable, ongoing status. What is yours? | |
| Dec 18, 2020 at 1:29 | comment | added | Vassilis Parassidis | @feelinferrety .I did the opposite I calculated the three per cent of a day and I subtracted from the 12h. | |
| Dec 18, 2020 at 1:14 | comment | added | feelinferrety | @VassilisParassidism Yes, that's how you get the 3%. And clearly days start at 0. But rather than extrapolate from the puzzle to get YOUR starting time of 11:16:48, you took the half that it WILL be and subtracted the 3% you calculated to get the starting time. There's not anything that indicates you should start at precisely the time you did. Only that you should end up at half. See the previous answer for a provably current timeframe that fulfills the numbers required. | |
| Dec 18, 2020 at 1:00 | comment | added | Vassilis Parassidis | @feelinferrety. A day has 1440 minutes. From this we can easily calculate three percent. In addition to that we count the day starting at a particular time point, from 00h,00m,00s. | |

| Dec 17, 2020 at 23:37 | comment | added | bobble | A day does stat at 0h 00m 00s. However, your answer assumes that the riddle's internal logic starts at 11h 16m 8s, and I don't see where that is indicated. | |
| Dec 17, 2020 at 23:36 | comment | added | Vassilis Parassidis | @bobble. I started that way because a day starts at midnight, 0h 00m 00s. | |

| Dec 17, 2020 at 23:26 | comment | added | bobble | Why would you start at that specific, arbitrary time? There's nothing in the riddle I can see which indicate such. Also, this doesn't address the second clue. | |
