Of course, most people through simple mathematical calculations will get 13 hours. Can this answer be wrong? Imagine maybe. Here it is, the result of life in the digital age. If Peter didn’t start it, it’s an electronic alarm clock or a cell phone; naturally, he wouldn’t wake up before 9 in the morning (we don’t take insomnia into account). However, the feature of mechanics is that it is impossible to set a traditional alarm clock in the morning or in the evening: if you set it to 9, it will ring at exactly 9, however, if you do it at 8 in the evening, then wait for the wake up exactly in an hour . Thus, Peter will be awakened at 21.00. Not a palm tree or even a money tree, so what is between the window and the door?
