Puzzle 777
Fill in the missing numbers with the digits 1 to 9. A diamond shape in the middle means that the four numbers around it add to 20.
Each uses a different way to add to 20, if there is already 1 + 3 + 7 + 9, then there will not be another using the digits 1, 3, 7 and 9 (in any order).
The same digit isn't allowed to touch, even diagonally.

Puzzle 778
I recently gave a new carriage clock to my friend for a very special birthday.
However, as usual with my presents, it was quite useless as it loses 6 minutes every hour.
I set it using my own accurate clock at midnight, and the clock now shows 10:12am.
I know that it stopped 2 hours ago, so what is the correct time now?
