Inherited Clocks
Mad Ade has inherited two clocks. One from his Great Grandmother who sadly perished in a unfortunate skateboarding accident and one from his strange uncle Syndey, who gave up drinking, and died of thirst.
One of them gains 6 seconds in every hour, while the other loses 9 seconds in every hour. If they are both set to show the same time, and then set going, how long will it be before they are exactly 1 hour different.
