OK, so they can only park:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
on Tuesday: 7am-8am, 9:30 am-noon, and 1pm-4:40pm? I was hoping the answer would be shorter. Did I miss something?

Ahh! That's where I messed up! I learned that "Monday's child is full of grace"! But I see now, that there are a *lot* more Google hits for Tuesday, than for Monday. Thanks! Wink

Oh, and:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think it should be 1-4:30pm because there's no parking every 6th hour (midnight-1am, 6am-7am, noon-1pm and 6-7pm)

13:00-16:30. Do you think if we place any time in between these, then it will be regarded as correct? Not long now until we can start finding out!

the 'no parking every sixth hour of the day' pushed people towards 13:00...and i went for tht too...but most people were forgeting the first hour is 00:00 - 01:00 so the sixth hour of the day is 05:00-06:00
people were thinking 12:00pm was the second sixth hour of the day..including me..but its actually 11:00am

Dumb

This card bothers me:

1) I'd like to know how to "occur" a parking ticket, when they are normally "incurred."

2) The "NO SIMIANS AT ANY TIME" sign will effectively prohibit ANY HUMAN from parking there. "Simian" refers to any member of the suborder "Simiiformes," which includes all Hominidae (humans and great apes).

This bug anyone else?

Well, if I park my car it's usually to leave it for some reason, so I (as a simian) would not be there and would not break the "no simians" rule. This as opposed to the rule stating that Friday parking is with monkeys only, which I'd assume means you'd have to leave one in the car (illegally).

The occur/incur thing does bug me, though. But only a little, the meaning is still clear.
