A clock has just gone unreliable. It gains 15 minutes every hour and thus shown wrong time. At present it is showing 3:00 am. But it was working perfect when you set it at midnight.
The clock stopped four hours ago. Can you tell what the correct time now is?
Follow 12 hr system, not 24 hr for answer and remove the : and enter HHMM part

According to the question, the clock is gaining 15 minutes every hour and thus for every real hour, the clock will show 75 minutes.
The present time is 3:00 am and thus 180 minutes have passed since midnight. However, in real this counts to just 144 minutes (180/75 * 60) so the clock shows 2:24 am.
Since the clock stopped 240 minutes ago (i.e. 4 hours), the correct time must be 6:24 am.
