This riddle plays with the concept of time on a 12-hour clock. The statement “11 + 3 = 2” might seem puzzling at first, but it makes sense when you consider how a clock works.
In a 12-hour clock system, adding hours wraps around after 12. So, if you start at 11 o’clock and add 3 hours, you move to 12 o’clock and then continue to 1 o’clock, and finally to 2 o’clock.
Answer: 11 + 3 = 2 when you’re adding 3 hours to 11 o’clock on a 12-hour clock, which wraps around to 2 o’clock.
