As Sad Sally passes the town hall clock each day at noon, she looks at the clock and changes her watch to 12:00:00 (hours:minutes:seconds). She then goes home, and for want of something better to do, she listens out for the clock chimes. She believes that the single chime she hears at regular intervals occurs each hour on the hour and that since her watch must be wrong, she alters it accordingly. In reality, her watch runs at the same rate as the town hall clock, but the clock chimes on each occasion the hour and minute hands point in the same direction. What time is it on Sally's watch when she passes the town hall clock?
