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.

Good one... I like the way the numbers work together.
Not your most difficult puzzle, but I love the story aspect of it! It really adds a nice new dimension to what would otherwise have been a rather boring puzzle! 11/10 for fun!
great storyline!
The story was the best part! Fun stuff!
