In 168 hours from midnight, it might be raining again or the sky could be cloudless. But it for sure will NOT be sunny.... it will be midnight again!

Denton you might just be the sneakiest person on this site :)

I'm sure I'm not even close. There are many people better at anything and everything on this site than me. Brian Charlesworth comes to mind as being better at everything than I, just off the top of my head.

But thank you for the compliment.

It comes and goes randomly. I'll suddenly come up with one, and then post it.

After 24 hours from 12am, it will be midnight

Now,

$\Rightarrow 24 + 24 + 24 +24+24+24+24+24+24+24+24+24+24+24+24 = 360$

After 8 more hours it will be midnight.

After 24, 48, ..., 168 hours, there will be midnight again. But after 18 hours, the time will be 6pm (can be sunny during the summer).

We can't use the fact, last digit is 8 , either. (e.g. after 38 hours, the time will be 2pm).

Hence, your solution is wrong.

Since the number 168 is a multiple of 24, after 168 hours, exactly 7 days have passed, and it will still be midnight, hence there will be no sun.
