A clock adds 3 mins every hour if you set the clock on January 1st at midnight when will the clock read the correct time again?
When the clock is 12 hours fast then it will show the right time.
12 hours = 720 minutes.
The clock gains 3 minutes every hour so it will gain 720 minutes in 240 hours.
240 hours = 10 days.
So, after 10 days, or at midnight on January 11th, the clock will show the right time again.
