Elite asked:


from my window i can see the town clock. every day i check the clock on my mantlepiece against the time shown on the town clock. it usually agrees, but one morning a strange situation occurred. the clock on my mantle showed the time as 5 minutes to 9. 1 minute later it read 4 minutes to 9. 2 minutes later it read 4 minutes to 9. 1 minute later it read 5 minutes to 9. at 9 i suddenly realized what was wrong. can you tell me what it was?
