Another Clock Riddle
On May 5, 2006, three clocks were set at noon. The following day at noon, one was found to be a minute slow, another a minute fast, and the third still had the exact time. If they continue at the same speeds, on what date will they once again all read 12:00?
Another Clock Riddle
One must lose twelve hours and the other gain twelve to read the same as the correct one. Twelve hours is 720 minutes, so it will take 720 days from the first day to all be sychronized at 12:00 again. This would be on April 24, 2008 (2008 is a leap year).
