Question types: What time comes next?
Rule: Clock sequences
Find how many minutes the time moves on between neighbouring clocks, and move the last one on by that much.
Sometimes each jump is longer than the one before by the same number of minutes: 10, 15, 20 minutes…
Example: 8:00, 8:20, 8:40, ? → 9:00.
Watch out: An hour has 60 minutes: 20 minutes after 8:50 is 9:10, not 8:70.
