Parking Puzzle

“Two Hour Parking?” Maybe Not

Quick!

What’s the maximum number of hours someone could park in a space with the restrictions posted above?

A. 2 hours
B. 4 hours
C. 8 hours
D. 18 hours

**Correct answer:  “D.”

As helpfully explained to me by the hotel staff directly across the street in Kalispell, MT (where I recently stayed), if you park in the spot after 4 p.m., you’re good till 6 p.m.

Then, there are no restrictions from 6 p.m. until 8 a.m. the next morning.

Finally, the two-hour maximum lets someone stay put from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m.

**Unless it’s over a long holiday weekend, per Ed Molyneaux’s comment, below.
