On this New Year's Day (January 1, 2016), at precisely 12:00 noon, I set up three clocks in my office. Let's call them Clock A, Clock B, and Clock C.
The next day, at precisely noon, I checked on them and discovered that Clock A had gained exactly 1 minute, Clock B had lost exactly 1 minute, and Clock C was right on time.
Assuming that the same rate of gaining/losing time continues on these clocks, When is the next date on which all three clocks will show precisely noon at the same moment? (That is, your answer should be a specific date, like "May 6, 2025" or something.)
