Puzzle 1 - Distance The Time

Let's start with our very first puzzle.For the few weeks puzzles will be relatively easy.Then we will move on to some challenging puzzles.

Fifty accurate watches lie on a table. Prove that there exist a moment in time when the sum of the distances from the center of the table to the end of minute hands is more than sum of the distances from the center of the table to the center of the watches.

Welcome to Fun Do Puzzles' zone

Hello friends!!

In this series of postings of puzzles, we intend to spread a culture of solving interesting puzzles for fun.
By blogging,it will help us to maintain some sincerity and regularity for such brain exercise. We will discourage you to find references on the web as we will solve here together :)

Whoever wants a whole problem collection till now, without solutions can access this link:
http://home.iitk.ac.in/~cbpandya/puzzles.pdf

So, this is the protocol:
1. Each new posting will be done on Monday and Friday.
2. You will be allowed ( or say welcomed) to post your solution of non-current problems.
3. Please maintain self-discipline for the above rule since some of our friends will be solving after you.
