Question 1.

A not-so-good clockmaker has four clocks on display in the window. Clock #1 loses 15 minutes every hour. Clock #2 gains 15 minutes every hour relative to Clock #1 (i.e., as Clock #1 moves from 12:00 to 1:00, Clock #2 moves from 12:00 to 1:15). Clock #3 loses 20 minutes every hour relative to Clock #2. Finally, Clock #4 gains 20 minutes every hour relative to Clock #3.
