How often?

Question

If you randomly glance at your watch, what are the odds that the time will contain consecutive digits, such as 1:23?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer

There are 10 times in a day that have consecutive digits (1:23; 2:34; 3:45; 4:56 and 12:34 – both a.m. and p.m.). Thus, in a 24-hour or 1,440-minute day, the probability is 1 in 144 (1,440 divided by 10).
