"Box-i: Your approach and the final answer".
Box 8- all in one is answer as one is written everywhere
ReplyDeleteBox 8- all in one is answer as one is written everywhere and in everyway. Box 10- time never waits is answer as time is cut down and is continuously passing
ReplyDeleteBox 1: I think it is SUNDAY, as the opposite of moon is sun, and the opposite of night is day, and the day we gave the exam on was a sunday.
ReplyDeleteBox 9: It might be NO EXCUSE FOR IT. NO X QQ 4*IT
Box 4: WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN
DeleteBox 3: HANG ON FOR A MINUTE. if you count the number of 'secs' below the word 'hang', you will see that there are 60 'secs'. 60 secs=1 minute.
DeleteBox 6: BACKWARDS. It's the word WARDS written in reverse.
Deleteanswer for box 10 shall be "Night"
DeleteBox 2 : A between W and T makes water . Box 4 : What comes next , Box 10: Time waits for none
ReplyDeletebox 3:what goes comes back.
ReplyDeletebox 6:backwards.
box 8:jumbled one
box 2: to err.
box 10:timeline or bar time
box10: more correct is-(bar time).showing the duration or opening time of a bar .
ReplyDeleteIn box 10, three time readings are slashed then how are they showing the opening time of a bar??
Deleteit is to support my answer.i know it is a little awkward answer but still it can be one of the answers.maybe i would have done timeline only.
DeleteBox 1: "SUNDAY TODAY"
ReplyDeleteBox 3: "HANGOVER STILL IN ME" - Since 'Hang' is over the "Still" water, it is "Hangover still" and since these are within the box, it is "in me".
ReplyDeleteBox 5: "MAKING UP FOR LOSSES" - since "Making" is read upwards it is 'making up' and lost is written 4 times- so "For" and 'lost' is written more than once, so "losses".
ReplyDeleteBox 9: "FIT FOR IT" - If alphabets are numbered, then NOXQQ adds up to number 6. The corresponding alphabet for 6 is F. so, FIT. IT is written 4 times , so.." FOR IT ".
ReplyDeleteBox-2: water
ReplyDeleteBox-4: what goes up comes down
Box-8: ONE
BOx-9: Time at which agent Vinod goes in, collects key and comes back.
Box 6: "BACKWARDS"
ReplyDeleteBox 4: "WHAT GOES UP SHOULD COME DOWN"
ReplyDeleteBox 10: "TIME OUT"
ReplyDeleteBox 2:"'O' fell from the 'TOWER'.Since Letter O is missing from the word TOWER.

where is your answer key?
Deletebox1-date
ReplyDeletebox7-0 degree
BOX 2 - WATER
ReplyDeleteBOX 4 - WHAT GOES COMES BACK
BOX 6 - DRAWS
BOX 8 - ONE
BOX 10 - CUT THE TIME
when will the answers be declared?
ReplyDeletebox1 - sunday
ReplyDeletebox3 - hang on a minute
box4 - wat goes up comes down
box5 - making up for lost time
box7 - 3 degrees below zero
Box 8 - No ONE
ReplyDeleteBox 6 - Backwards
Box 4 - What goes up comes down
Box 8- Not the only one.
ReplyDeleteBox 7: "NO UNDERGRADUATES" - all the 3 degrees are undergraduate courses and '0' means 'no'.
ReplyDeleteSorry Shamika!
DeleteGood Approach, but PhD is not an undergraduate degree.
Keep discussing.
Box -4:"What goes up,comes back down".
ReplyDeleteBox -6:"Backwards without back". As wards is written backwards but without back.
Box -8:"all in one". As ONE is written everywhere.
Box -10:"Time waits for none". Because time has been cut which means time is going on.
Box 10: "NO TIME LEFT" - cutting of the times mean 'no time' and since it is towards the left of the box, it is 'no time left'
ReplyDeleteBox-2:"tower"
ReplyDeleteBox1 : no-moon-night today
ReplyDeleteBox3 : Hangout
Box4 : what goes away comes back
Box5 : Making up for lost
Box6 : Backwards
Box7 : underdegree
Box8 : no one
Box9 : no excuse for it
approach -
DeleteBox 1 : moon crossed night crossed & today => no-moon-night today
Box 3 : hang is out => hangout
Box 4 : goes.. (away arrow) % comes.. (back arrow)=> what goes away comes back
Box 5 : making (written bottom to up) => making up
4 lost => for lost
Box 6 : wards (written right to left.. back)=> backwards
Box 7 : degrees mentioned under something => under-degree
Box 8 : permutations of o,n,e but not one => no one
Box 9 : NO (no).. X QQ (ex Q's => excuse) .. 4 times IT (for it)
Box 10:'It is striking time'
ReplyDeleteya i think u r surely correct.
DeleteStriking time is correct as it was the last question and striking time means finishing time that's why i feel that it is naturally a correct answer.Moreover the given data i.e.is time were struck off.
ReplyDelete1. today is the only day
ReplyDelete2. o fell from tower
3. hang above water
4. what goes up comes down
5. making up/back losses
6. backwards
7. 3 degrees below 0
-3 degrees
8. jumbled one
9. no excuse for it
10. time out
The answer for box no.10 could be "Night"
ReplyDeleteReasoning: All the timings denoting Morning(06.30), after-noon(12.24) and evening(15.46) were scored out. The remaining count for a day is night only.

ReplyDeletebox 2:''tower'' it seems that 'o' is removed to decrease the height of tower.
ReplyDeletebox 4:''what goes up comes back down''.
box 6:''backwards without back'' the word backwards is written backward.
box 8:''all in one'' we see that one has been displayed in many forms.
box 10:''time waits for none'' as time is cut that means time is running out of one's hand.
box10: "No time" as time is cut, "left" as written in left so "no time left"
