Moving parts & lateral brain teaser


A lateral brain teaser is a question that cannot be solved with regular logic. Here is an example:

A sun dial is the time piece with the fewest moving parts. What is the time piece with the most moving parts? Answer: an hour glass is the most common answer. I personally think that Foucault pendulum is a good answer too since the whole apparatus moves. Granted it has less parts than an hour glass.
