Can you correctly answer my tricky question?

A prize* goes to the first person who tells me how many hands Big Ben (in London, not your mate) has.




*prize not actually on offer - don't tell me you thought there was one.

Eight.

Well... there's two on each face, I think...

And there's four faces (but I'm not too sure about that).

So therefore, there should be eight.

No, no, wait! Big Ben isn't the tower, Big Ben is the main bell! And bells don't have any hands! There are 0!

Big Ben, being a large bell, has no hands.

That's what I thought, but I can't recall ever seeing an actual picture of Big Ben, so I had to guess that it had four sides.
Turns out I suck though, so nothing is as it should be.
