    How is it possible to make Big Ben strike 13 o'clock? There aren't that many numbers on the clockface. Greg Foot uses the speed of sound to play with time and make Big Ben chime thirteen times at midnight.

      @@itsmephil2255 I wonder if they actually did it for the episode. I know they showed it happening but I wonder if they just used recordings or if they actually did the experiment and used that recording... I know that's what I would have wanted to do.

    Apparently there is a legend that if Big Ben chimes 13 times the Lions in Trafalgar Square will get up and start walking around the square. Either they hushed it up really well, or that myth has just been debunked.

  • @Redbird4912
    @Redbird4912 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    So the out of phase chimes (the actual chimes and the radio wave chimes) must have been synchronised (1 with 2 and 2 with 3, etc). Therefore if you got closer or further away from Big Ben, you would hear 24 chimes, at midnight or midday?

  • @Nogli
    @Nogli 13 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    @coolcam262 On paper that is fine, you would have to be far enough away for the sound from Big Ben so that the sound of the first chime, didn't make it to the listener until the third chime. However, I think that that is simply too far away to hear the bell very well. I might be wrong though.

  • @Weeble68
    @Weeble68 14 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    @Caead Well strickly speaking they heard every chime twice. It's just that they heard them out of sync. They should've stood half the distance that they did and then they would've heard 24 chimes and twice as fast! : )

  • @vanni9283
    @vanni9283 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm guessing you're saying this...The first chime they hear over the radio, as it actually occurs. From their location, they'd probably hear that first chime about the time when they hear the 2nd actual chime over the radio. And then the 2nd around the time the radio broadcasts the 3rd, right on down the line. Because the actual chime is being broadcasted over the radio, you turn off the radio after the 12th chime occurs, which allows them to hear the 12th (13th) chime from their location.

  • @RAS2525
    @RAS2525 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    They played a video of Big Ben chiming 12 times in the walk-ie talkie and for the 13th chime they declined the walk-ie talkie so the 13th chime was the 1st chime

    • @WeeDefault
