A twelve-hour clock is set at the correct time on the afternoon of May 17th. Somebody knocked the clock off the wall and now it loses 6 minutes per day. How much time will the clock be behind 3 weeks later?

Answer:

126 minutes (or 2 hours and 6 minutes)

Explanation:

7 days in a week times 3 weeks = 21 days

6 minutes a day times 21 days = 126 minutes behind
