I actually questioned the answer to this one myself the first time I heard it! It's kind of chronologically abstract, there may be a moment of hesitation, a lapse if you will, a duration of "does that make sense?" when you figure it out.............

sounds like you're talking about a clock... i know you can get time clocks that show 1 hour as 100...

OK, I'm probably way off base here and this is going to sound dumb. 160 earth minutes are equal to 200 space minutes.
Just taking a shot in the dark.

160 degrees clockwise is equal to 200 degrees counter-clockwise and vice versa (200 degrees clockwise = 160 degrees counterclockwise). For example... start at north, and go clockwise 160 degrees, you end up in the same place as you would if you start at north and go counterclockwise 200 degrees. (A circle has 360 degrees)

Here goes (but it'll be super awesome if your answer doesn't live up to the question because it stumped us!):



Four yellow cats wore four rats as hats.

Cat C sees a green wall.
Cat A sees a green wall.
Cat T sees what's between her and the green wall.
Cat S sees what's between him and the green wall.
No one cat can see them all.

Well, the cats know there are four rat hats:
two blue and two red.
But no cat knows which he has on his head (or she, or it).

Miss Mean Owner has stuck their paws to the ground.
As a result, they can't have a look around.

She says,
"The color of your rat hat, one of you must know!
If you fail this test, to the pound you'll all go!"

Some time goes by in silence, and then one cat claims to know the color of his/her/its rat hat.
Which yellow cat knows the color of his/her/its rat hat, and how does he/she/it know?

Maybe its because I'm a...
Its cat T because she knows A is blue,
If T were blue S would know,
As there are 2 of each colour that means S would be red
S would have said the colour of its hat
But since S is quiet that means S doesn't know the colour of its hat
Which means S can see one red hat and one blue
Since A is blue, T knows she is red.

Yeah?
