While travelling in London, I noticed something strange.
I saw some numbers which appeared to be counting up but which then switched to counting down. Later on, I saw the same thing, but the numbers counted down only.
Questions:
- How was I travelling in London?
- How do you explain what I saw?
Hints:
This is a real phenomenon that anyone might see in London.
London is relevant to the question.
If I'd kept a low profile, I wouldn't have seen this.
Further hint:
What I saw might possibly be seen in other cities in the world.
Cryptic clues to what I was looking at (clues don't include definitions):
Number of dwarfs split up (5, 7)
Not many cars around (7, 5)
Extra cryptic clue following on from the ones above:
Ends cut off - that's peculiar! (4)
And here's a riddling hint for the means of transport:
China in her hand. China in her hand. (6, 6)
Another cryptic clue:
Music genre which might feature The White Stripes (6, 2, 3, 4)
