    there are 12*60 = 720 minutes in 12 hours

    loses 9 minutes per hour, so how many times does 9 go into 720? this will be the number of hours until it has the right time again

    720 / 9 = 80 hours

    it will take 80 hours until the hours match up (unless the clock differentitates between am and pm, in which case it will be 160 hours before it shows the right time again)
