Reasoning
The clock now shows 10:12am, so we know that 10 x 60 + 12 = 612 clock minutes have passed.
Since the clock is losing 6 minutes every hour, for every real hour that has passed, the clock will show 54 minutes.
So, 612 ÷ 54 ≈ 11.33 real hours have passed.
This equals 680 minutes, which is 11 hours and 20 minutes = 11:20am.
The clock stopped 2 hours ago, therefore the time must now be 1:20pm.
