Message 1172390 - Posted: 20 Nov 2011, 2:53:04 UTC - in response to Message 1172378.  

Thank you, I just could not figure what it was.

Ok, like I had said before you must tell me how many clocks I had to wind and take care of when I worked on a navy ship as a navigator’s yeoman. The job included all the clocks on the ship. Early hints, not all of them were eight day clocks. If anyone hits the number right on I will declare the win right off. Remember, that ship was a supply ship in the Royal Canadian Navy, so there is the question of necessity over cost factor.

25 is too high a number
It only took me about three or four hours to do the job, and most of the work was all the climbing up and down to different decks.
I am not counting the pay office guy's Seiko watch.

We are getting very close:
6 low
15 high
11 low
18 high
25 too high
Everyone in Europe and North America should be up right now, and it is 12:15 PM Tuesday in New Zealand. That makes it early morning in Western Australia. I hope this is a good time for this last hint.

Give him 24 hrs or so. Then just pick the second closest. That might be me and I do have something ready.

It is either you or me. I don't have anything ready, so you do it (assuming that Adam does not post anything).
