The big hand of the Big Ben clock weighs 1200 Ib, and the hour hand weighs 700 lb. What is the total weight of the hands?

..... can someone plzz explain why the answer isn't 1900 lb - 'cos I'll admit I'm stumped on this one, 'cos the last time I went to school (okay it was a long time ago), 1200 + 700 = 1900

*sigh*

Thanks for that - I feel silly now >.<
And being just a tad pedantic, Big Ben is actually the bell, not the clock.

. . . . or more correctly, more pedantic.
I'm not being picky johnalex but I just think your being pedantic now.
And I am also being pedantic, keithlbw, when I suggest you meant to write 'you're' and not 'your' in your comment.
And you shouldn't start a sentence with 'And' mohill . . . .
And ellipsis is only 3 dots...
