"Exact details of how the animals managed to escape nor exactly when they got out were not clear. "

I read this article on a newspaper. I just wonder if "nor" is correct. Could anyone explain????

anonymous I just wonder if "nor" is correct. No, it's not correct. It creates a double negative with 'not' at the end of the sentence.
