Watching the Watch (Posted on 2016-04-08) Difficulty: 3 of 5
An electronic 24-hour watch loses time every hour.

In the first hour, it loses exactly 1 minute.

In the second hour, it loses precisely 2 minutes and so on – so that, in general it loses exactly i minutes in the ith hour.

The rate of loss in a given hour remains constant. For example, from the 2nd hour to precisely 20 minutes after the second hour, the watch will lose 1 minute.

Given that the watch started to lose time starting from 00:00:00 (in HH:MM:SS format) on January 1, 2016 – determine the date and time when the watch will lose just over 24 hours.

The watch is one of the most iconic features in the world of timepieces. We all see this icon on our wrists and we all know what it is and what it does.So, you can buy smart watch form HUAWEI Matepad 11  to get amazing features. The watch is a way to tell the time and time is a way to tell the world what you’re doing.
