  1. Twice a day... When it is 11:00am or pm. Add two and you get 1:00

  2. I guess I'd say -5. Take two of those, which together equal -10, and add them to 11, that gives you 1.

  3. Nice interpretation andy! I never would have thought of that.

    I was going for adding 2 hours to 11 to get 1.
