Mr. Greenwich owns a rugged cottage that is without power. There is a grandfather clock in it which he frequently forgets to wind. One day when this happened, he went to Professor Quantum's to check the time. When Mr. Greenwich returned, the first thing he did was set his grandfather clock to the correct time. Since he does not have a TV, telephone, or radio, how could he set his clock without knowing the length of the trip to Professor Quantum's?

Quantum - the smallest increment possible. Therefore, very little time passed during his journey - he set the clock to what mr quantums was....

 

What a load of *****x :D

Oi! Puffer! Go and play with your Muppets!:D

Reckon the guy must have his own watch, when he gets to the other place he puts the time right on his own watch, gets back home and then sets the ol grandfather clock ..

You know it makes sense! LOL

Nah, must have a wristwatch, in which case, why did he need to go and check the time?

he never did it - the problem is fictional - trying to solve it wastes thinking time.
