Puzzle

US Version

Here is a numberless clock that some prankster has rotated an unknown amount. The clock is still running normally, though, and each colored circle on its face represents an hour.

Even without the numbers, you can still tell what time it is. Write down the exact hour. It doesn't matter whether it's a.m. or p.m., but your answer should be in the form of XX o'clock.

Correct

US Version

Nicely done!

Yes, the answer is 12 o'clock. The only time the hour and minute hands would overlap on a clock like this is 12 o'clock, though it's impossible to tell if it's noon or midnight.

UK Version

You clocked it!

Yes, the answer is 12 o'clock. The only time the two hands would point towards the same hour on a clock like this is at 12 o'clock, though it's impossible to tell if it's noon or midnight.
