Everyone loves a new riddle or puzzle to figure out and now there is a new question that has left the internet baffled with varying answers to "What is the closest time to midnight?" In a question that perhaps takes many of us back to our school days, people can't agree on the correct answers from the four options given, These four options are: 11:55 am 12:06 am 11:50 am 12:03 amSign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletterThe most popular answer appears to be number four 12:03 am since this is just three minutes away from midnight, especially when you look at the different answer options.However, if we want to get technical, the wording of the question is all about “closest time to” not the “closest time until" so how time moves may not be a part of the answer. As a result, people have come up with other creative reasoning behind choosing another one of the options - with a few believing the answer could be which time is closest to the written word "midnight." (In that case, the answer would be number one since it is typed out closest to "midnight" on the paper). While some may have been caught out by choosing number one, as they wrongly believe 11:55 am is closest to midnight when actually this would have been true if it had been 11:55 pm - not am. Clearly, the debate has sparked serious reactions from people who are adamant about their answers. One person said: "The replies made me lose a bit more faith in humanity." "One of my favorite genre of Twitter post is 2nd grade worksheets," another person wrote. Someone else added: "You all need to go back to school if you say anything other than D."

The anonymous man wrote on Reddit and explained the context behind a disagreement he’d caused with his wife-to-be. The 27-year-old said that he was bisexual and hadn’t told his partner that he used to be romantically involved with one of his close friends. He wrote that the paid had dated for "less than a month" before deciding they were better off as friends. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The post read: "Near the end of the year I'm going to be marrying the love of my life, we have been together for four years now. Since I popped the question we've been busy planning, and one of the first things we decided was our wedding party. We both already knew exactly who we were going to ask and we had no issues with each other's choices, at least at the beginning. "My fiancée recently found out that I used to date my best man and is furious I never told her he was my ex and that I had not only invited him but also wanted him in the wedding party.” He added: "The thing is, I never purposely hid the fact we use to date from her, I just genuinely forgot. We have been friends for years and we got on so well we decided to give it a try and it just wasn't meant to be. we were 'together' for less than a month and it wasn't really that different from how we were being friends except we had sex sometimes. "I have to actively be reminded of it as it's not something I think about, when I look at him I don't see an ex I see my best friend of over 10 years. He was my friend for years before we dated and years after. I don't think it classes him as an ex and I don't think it should mean he's excluded from my wedding. But my fiancée is adamant that it's disrespectful to her and that it's her wedding so she should get a say. "I don't want to exclude him but if I knew she would react like this I might have just invited him as a guest." The post attracted some criticism, with some accusing him of keeping the truth from his partner. "Hiding some facts about your past romantic relationship is the same as lying. Why did you not tell her about him?" one wrote. However, another said that “it was an honest mistake”, adding: “I think you need to have a talk with her about why she feels disrespected without trying to discount her feelings.” Have your say in our news democracy.

American YouTuber MrBeast has opened up about how he was almost a passenger on the ill-fated Titan submarine after being invited onboard by OceanGate. The Titan submarine went missing on 18 June after it lost communication with the ship on top of the water during its descent to see the wreckage of the Titanic on the sea floor. On 22 June, the US Coast Guard announced it had found debris from the submarine and concluded it had suffered a “catastrophic implosion”, killing all five passengers onboard. MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has revealed how he could have been one of them, explaining that he was offered the opportunity to go in it. In a tweet, MrBeast shared the invitation he received and wrote: “I was invited earlier this month to ride the Titanic submarine, I said no. Kind of scary that I could have been on it.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The invitation read: “I’m going to the Titanic in a submarine late this month. The team would be stoked to have you along.” It is unclear who the invitation came from, but onboard the submarine was OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, British-Pakistani multimillionaire Shahzada Dawood, his teenage son Suleman and French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet. Despite the 25-year-old declining the invitation, few would have been surprised had the influencer taken it up since he has become well-known for completing daring challenges alongside his philanthropic work. In 2022, MrBeast and several of his friends travelled to Antarctica to attempt to survive 50 hours in the freezing temperature. Have your say in our news democracy.

The countdown is on for Greta Gerwig’s hotly anticipated Barbie film set to drop next month. Buzz around the film continues to grow, with Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice recently dropping the soundtrack, 'Barbie World'. Margot Robbie, who will be joined by Ryan Gosling as Ken, also showed fans a glimpse into the Mattel doll's Dreamhouse with Architectural Digest. But now, attention has been turned to a French promo poster, which reads: "Elle peut tout faire. Lui, c’est juste Ken." The phrase is intended to mean: "She can do everything. He’s just Ken." However, the seemingly innocent tagline also has an NSFW interpretation, as many social media users pointed out. In French, "Ken" is a slang term for the F-bomb, which means the sentence could also be read as: "She knows how to do everything. He just knows how to f***," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Many people online were left in hysterics, with some believing it to be intentional: "I'm almost certain that this was done on purpose for this exact reason - to generate marketing hype at how it was a 'mistake'." "This is the reason why diversity is so important, especially in Marketing teams," another said. "This translation was probably done by Gen X; Millennials and Gen Z were not involved." Meanwhile, a third fan wrote: "This movie is my EVERYTHING and it's not even out yet" – and they're right. The unreleased film has already caused a worldwide shortage of the colour pink. Production designer Sarah Greenwood spoke to Architectural Digest and revealed that the creation of the set led to a shortage of the fluorescent shade of Rosco paints. "The world ran out of pink," she said. Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.

A celebrity chef who banned vegans from his restaurants has been forced to implement a booking fee after being trolled online. It all started when John Mountain, owner of Fyre in Australia, announced the new policy on Facebook following a customer complaint. "Sadly all vegans are now banned from Fyre (for mental health reasons). We thank you for your understanding," he wrote. In a direct message, the customer reportedly wrote: "My only option was the vegetable dish… it was okay but not that filling… and I was shocked to see it was $32 (£17). "If you don’t get with the times, I don’t hold out faith that your restaurant will be the one that does. I think it’s incredibly important nowadays that restaurants can accommodate everyone and to not be able to have actual plant-based meals shows your shortcomings as a chef." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The chef didn't take the feedback lightly, telling 7News: "F**k vegans - I’m done with them." "I once wrote and sold a book called Pig which had pork recipes. People know what they’re getting from me." Now, the chef claims he's been bombarded with fake bookings from vegans, prompting him to introduce a $30 (£16) booking fee. On his website, he wrote: "Due to the frequency of non-genuine vegan bookings, we have been forced to request a $30 per person booking fee. "This fee is wholly deductible from your bill after dining at Fyre." Have your say in our news democracy.
