Video Summary

In this problem, two clocks behave differently: one gains one minute per hour while the other loses two minutes per hour. Starting from a correct time setting, after a certain number of hours, one clock shows 11 a.m. and the other 12 noon. By examining various time settings, it's determined that setting both clocks at 3:40 p.m. the previous day results in this exact discrepancy after 20 hours, bringing one clock to 12 p.m. and the other to 11 a.m. Therefore, the correct time both clocks were initially set to is 3:40 p.m.
