Puzzle 254 



My special BrainBashers clock works in a very unusual way.

It only ever shows the reflection of the current time!

So when it shows 7:15, what is the correct time?

Puzzle 255 



Can you complete this grid of letters. Each line is a valid 5-letter word with its first and last letter missing.

The missing letters form a word when read downwards, and the same word appears both at the start and at the end.

What is the missing word?

Note: this puzzle is not interactive, and the squares cannot be clicked.
