Puzzle 29 


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?
