Solution:

24 strikes - One Striker every hour

156 Strikes - Strike depends on the number of hours
(3rd hour - 3 strikes, 11th hour - 11 strikes)
Total Strikes = 2(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12) = 156.

180 Strikes - 156 from previous + 24 (one strike every hour)

228 Strikes - 156 Strikes(Strike depends on the number of hours) + 72(24*3, one every quarter except for the 0th hour)
= 156 + 72 = 228

Hence all clocks are working fine.

They were playing tennis.

Tiger Phil
30 - 30
40 - 30 (Phil hit a bad shot)
Game won - 30 (Tiger hit an awesome shot)

Solution:

He should shoot at the ground.

If Kangwa shoots the ground, it is Rafael's turn. Rafael would rather shoot at Ferdinand than Kangwa, because he is better.
If Rafael kills Ferdinand, it is just Kangwa and Rafael left, giving Kangwa a fair chance of winning.
If Rafael does not kill Ferdinand, it is Ferdinand's turn. He would rather shoot at Rafael and will definitely kill him. Even though it is now Kangwa against Ferdinand, Kangwa has a better chance of winning than before.

Solution:

45 minutes

Explanation :
All you have to do is burn the first rope from both the ends and the second rope from one end only simultaneously. The first rope will burn in 30 minutes (half of an hour since we burned from both sides) while the other rope would have burnt half. At this moment, light the second rope from the other end as well. Where, the second rope would have taken half an hour more to burn completely, it will take just 15 minutes as we have lit it from the other end too.

Thus you have successfully calculated 30+15 = 45 minutes with the help of the two given ropes.
