Hint
Snakes don't have legs.

Answer
6 snakes, along with 7 people and 14 lizards.

Reasoning
We know that for each person (2 legs) there were 2 lizards (4 legs each).

Which means for every person, we can count a total of 10 legs.

Snakes don't have legs, so the total of 70 legs must have been 7 people (and 14 lizards).

This is a total of 21 heads, so the remaining 6 heads were all snakes.

Double-Checking
7 people gives 7 heads and 14 feet.

14 lizards gives 14 heads and 56 feet.

6 snakes gives 6 heads and 0 feet.

For a total of 6 + 7 + 14 = 27 heads, and 0 + 14 + 56 = 70 feet.

Hint
How many watch minutes pass in a real hour?

Answer
12:11pm.

Reasoning
The watch now shows 10:39am, so we know that 10 x 60 + 39 = 639 watch minutes have passed.

Since the watch is losing 6 minutes every hour, for every real hour that has passed, the watch will show 54 minutes.

So, 639 ÷ 54 ≈ 11.8333 real hours have passed.

This equals 710 minutes, which is 11 hours and 50 minutes = 11:50am.

The watch stopped 21 minutes ago, therefore the time must now be 12:11pm.
