Clue
80 MINUTES = 1 HOUR 20 MINUTES. SAME DISTANCE AT THE SAME SPEED TAKES THE SAME TIME
ONE TRAIN COMES AT 8AM AND THE OTHER TRAIN CAME AT 8PM
THE STATION CLOCK IS 3 MINUTES FAST. THE MORNING JOURNEY TOOK 65 MINUTES, AND THE EVENING JOURNEY THEREFORE TOOK 52 MINUTES, AND THE TRAIN ARRIVED 57 MINUTES AFTER IT SHOULD HAVE LEFT, THAT IS, 3 MINUTES EARLY
1 1/2 HOURS IS THE SAME AS 90 MINUTES
