3:30 PM

Between 12 PM -3 PM , there is 3 hours difference
Reduce 30 minutes ( 10 minutes reducing / hour )

So , it will be 2:30 PM ?

Answer is : 3:36 PM.
The clock loses 10 minutes each hour,
so it loses 5 minutes every half-hour,
and it loses 1 minute very 6 minutes.

It is 12:50 PM at 1:00 o'clock.
It is 1:40 PM at 2:00 o'clock.
It is 2:30 PM at 3:00 o'clock.
It is 2:55 PM at 3:30 o'clock.
It is 3:00 PM at 3:36 o'clock.

If I'd done some calculations, I would have definitely go the exact one. , Nonetheless, got close to the answer.

Was close indeed. Just missed the main piece of calculation in that minor 6 mins difference in my solution.

If you're off by 6 minutes it's because that's exactly what the puzzle maker (or whatever) wanted you to think, and get it wrong.

@Ali.

Three people check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. As the guests didn't know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep $2 as a tip for himself. Each guest got $1 back, so now each guest only paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop has $2. And $27 + $2 = $29 so, if the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?

They paid 25$ and each guest have $1 and bellhop have 2 as a tip.
$25 + $1x3 + $2 = $30 :P
