A Real Humdinger!
The hummingbird is a very interesting bird. Not only can it hover in mid-air but it can also fly backwards!

To acquire enough strength to support all of its high-speed activity, a hummingbird needs to consume large amounts of high-energy food.

Its favorite food is nectar from flowers. It feeds about every 12 minutes from dawn to dusk.

Suppose you are a hummingbird. Today the sun rose (dawn) at 6:24 a.m. and set (dusk) at 7:12 p.m. You had your first meal precisely at dawn and your last meal precisely at dusk.

How many meals did you eat today?
