Imagine that your watch was correct at noon, but then it began to lose 30 minutes each hour. It now shows 4 p.m. but it stopped 5 hours ago. What is the correct time now?

The watch loses 1/2 hour each hour.
So, it must have taken 8 hours to show 4 p.m. from 12 noon.
Thus, it stopped at 8 p.m. So, the correct time is 5 hours ahead of 8 p.m., i.e., 1 a.m.
