Answer

 

[Teacher: This was correct when this page was loaded. If this answer is clearly wrong please check that your computer's date and clock are correctly set. You do not need to add on the extra hour if you are doing this starter after the clocks have gone back or in a country that doesn't operate a daylight saving time system.]

 

Have you ever seen a Backwards Clock?
