Is there math involved with this puzzle? Or is it a trick question?
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

Yep... Most clocks don't have the 0 in front of the 8 in 8:00. And most people don't think past 8:08, so I'm duely impressed you both got it.

I'm thinking we could even be 'looser' than that. I say people just post whenever, I think it would be fun to have 5-6 open puzzles at a time. If you don't happen to log on at the right moment, you miss out, then it's mostly just waiting for new puzzles.
Anyway, on to my puzzle.
As you may have noticed, a digital clock displays the time through a series of 'bars'. If all the bars are displayed, then you have an 8. There are 7 bars that make up this 8. A number 1 is made up of two bars, both vertical on the right hand side. If you add one more bar across the top, you get a 7. Does that make sense?
Ok, so...
What time is it when the clock is displaying the least amount of bars? How many bars are there?
What time is it when the clock is displaying the most amount of bars? How many bars are there?
Assume normal time, not military time.

My experience has been that Macs are intuitive, only if you've never used a PC. It's like switching from a qwerty keyboard to a Dvorak keyboard. Sure, the Dvorak is better organized, but it is going to take you a few months to relearn everything.
I get on Macs and am frustrated to no end at how counter-intuitive they are (since I'm accustomed to a PC).

Peeps are noble and honorable. Many peeps gave their lives during the story board process that brought us the recent Peter Jackson epic.

So, the last level.

Nope...
When you add the word to one of them, you will find out that you are using one right now.

One of the words ends up dealing with technology, or music, depending on how you look at it.

man, that one and Atlas ball. *grump*
Hey, if you don't learn anything from a riddle, then it's a sucky riddle.Think of the new information you now have to use around the water cooler.
e - "So, does anybody else here own an atlas ball? If you need one, I know how to make them."

Police Station
Police Lane

Good guess, but no.

Lane is correct.
Victory lane is more of a racing term.

Not too common, but you're done with round one. Feel free to guess on round two. Here they are in alphabetical order.
