Answer:

Both lights flash at 1:00

Explanation:

they flash together every 2*7=14 minutes

in 60 minutes there are 4*14=56 minutes

they flash together at 1:56

more minutes brings you to 2:00

they flash together at 2:10 (4+10=14)

that leaves 50 minutes left in the hour

they flash three times which uses up 42 minutes

this brings you to 2:52 (10+42=52)

8 more minutes brings you to 3:00

in 6 more minutes (8+6=14) it will be 3:06 and they will flash together
