MCR Problem of the Week, May 27, 2024 Edition
devourer owns a clock and a watch, both of which are defective. For every $1$ minute that passed in real time, his clock shows that $61$ seconds have passed. For every $1$ minute that passed on his clock, his watch shows that $59$ seconds have passed. If he calibrates his watch to real time on December 22 at 12:00:00 a.m., what will be the difference between the time on his watch and real time on January 1 at 12:00:00 a.m.?
Answer Submission Note(s)
Express your answer as seconds, add a plus sign before your answer if devourer's watch is ahead of the real time, and a minus sign otherwise.
