What we know: If 2 hours ago it was as long after one o'clock in the afternoon as it was before one o'clock in the morning.
Enigma: What time would it be now?
Solution: Nine o'clock. Since there are 12 hours between the 2 times, and half of that time is six, then the halfway mark would have to be 7 o'clock. If it were 7 o'clock, two hours ago, the time would now be nine o'clock.
