Tia woke up groggily in the morning and looked at a mirror image (vertical reflection) of her analog clock. She went to brush her teeth for 20 minutes, and then looked at the clock properly. She was shocked to see that it indicated 2 hours 30 minutes more than the original time she thought she read.
What was the time displayed when she read the clock correctly?
If your answer is HH:MM AM, then enter HHMM.

. We're sorry about the hassle.
First subtracting the extra 20 minutes, we get that the real time and mirror time were 2 hours 10 minutes apart.
Since it was morning, the hands should be closer to and symmetrical (mirror image) about 6 am.
So, 2 hours 10 minutes symmetrical about 6 am means 1 hour 5 minutes difference from 6 am or 4:55 and 7:05. Since the mirror showed less time, original time at that moment would be 7:05 and the time Emilia saw would be 7:05+20 minutes=7:25 am
