Hint to Riddle #63: 6 Bullets in 60 seconds how long for 3 bullets?
63. Billy The Whizz, a 19th century cowboy, carries an 1847 Colt single action 6 shooter revolver. So proficient is he with this weapon that when he fires all 6 shots in a row, the time between the first bullet and the last is 60 seconds. How long would it take him to fire 3 shots?
'There are 4 fence posts separated by 10m fence panels, how long is the fence?'Is a pretty close example to the bullet question. Of course it's obvious when you are looking at a picture of the fence.
Notice the fence posts, like the gun shots are not the same thing as the fence panels. The fence panels are the gaps between the posts.
Where next?
