HI Strictly speaking, this isn't a riddle, it's a puzzle within a very specific context - Detective Conan, I believe My best guess is that, with the King ill, the remaining cards of the pack take up the twelve places on the clock face, Queen at the top. The lowest face is that of the knave (at 11) and, 4 places behind him you have the sword, the minute hand, pointing at the 7 The dagger, the hour hand, 3rd from the Queen, to the east, is at the 3 So it's twenty-five to three Hope I'm right!
