Bigrat2 has a very old cuckoo clock. It's a great clock, but it runs far too slowly; it loses 9 minutes of time every hour.
Goto visits his friend Bigrat2 one day, and notices that the cuckoo clock is exactly on time at noon on Tuesday.
When is the next time Bigrat2's clock will be exactly on time?
*i am wanting a day and time

Does the problem take a long time to figure out?

nups. not right.
HINT: This may seem obvious, but i think some of you are missing the point.
For the clock to seem correct, it must LOSE 12 HOURS
Ill just post the facts again, it loses 9 minutes every hour, and the clock is correct at NooN on tuesday
[/hint]
Okies, that should help you guys out
