Riddle: If someone says to you, “I'll bet you $1 that if you give me $2, I will give you $3 in return“, would this be a good bet for you to accept?

Answer: No. This is a situation where you lose even if you win. Assuming the other person is being wise, they would take your $2 and say, “I lose“, and give you $1 in return. You win the bet, but you're out $1

Riddle: You have the misfortune to own an unreliable clock. This one loses exactly 24 minutes every hour. It is now showing 3:00am and you know that is was correct at midnight, when you set it. The clock stopped 1 hour ago, what is the correct time now?

Answer: 6:00am: since the clock is losing 24 minutes every hour, for every real hour that has passed, the clock will only show 36 minutes. Since the clock shows 3:00am, we know that 180 clock minutes have passed. This therefore equals 300 real minutes and hence 5 hours. The clock stopped 1 hour ago and the time must now be 6.00am.
