Question 98416: You have a round clock from 1-12. Draw two straight lines to get three equal sums.
I drew a line from 1 to 11 and from 9 to 3. I'm not sure though because it sawy three equal sums when you're supposed to draw two lines.

Two lines could separate the clock-face into 3 regions where
the sum of the hour numbers was equal. Try doing that.
