It is 9 o’clock. Pick the time it was one hour ago. Was it 8 o’clock, 9 o’clock, or 10 o’clock?

We’re shown two different clocks. This clock shows 9 o’clock. We have to work out what time it was one hour ago. So, we need to work out what the time was an hour before 9 o’clock. The hour before 9 o’clock is 8 o’clock. We know that nine take away one is eight. So, 9 o’clock take away one hour is 8 o’clock. Which of our three clocks shows this? It’s the first clock. If it’s 9 o’clock now, then the time one hour ago was 8 o’clock.
