Is that to strike 3 after 2? 3600 seconds?
RE: Puzzle a Day! - Admin - 21-09-2021
I will go with 4....2 seconds between chimes
RE: Puzzle a Day! - JJB - 21-09-2021
I agree Boss, 4 seconds, that was my thinking too.
RE: Puzzle a Day! - Mark_Riga - 21-09-2021
Could be 3 seconds if each chime sounds for 1 second and there is 1 second between the chimes.

The "official" answer is 4 seconds.
"If the clapper striking the bell for the first peal and the second peal is 2 seconds, then it will be a further 2 seconds before it strikes for the third peal."
