Two lighthouses flash their lights every 20 seconds and 30 seconds respectively. Given that they flash together at 8 p.m, when will they next flash together?

One minute later at 8:01pm. One lighthouse will flash 3 times (at 20, 40 and 60 seconds)...the other will flash twice (at 30 and 60 seconds). So they will both flash 60 seconds later, at 8:01
