If the clock is gaining three minutes every hour, that means it will be ahead by three minutes for each hour that passes. In a full 12-hour cycle, the clock will gain a total of 36 minutes (3 minutes x 12 hours). To find when the clock shows the correct time again, we can determine how long it will take for this 36 minutes to equal a full hour (60 minutes) of clock time. The clock will show the correct time again when it has overall gained the 60 minutes, which will take 20 hours (60 minutes / 3 minutes per hour). Starting from 6 p.m. on Saturday, adding 20 hours leads us to 2 p.m. on Sunday. Therefore, the analogue clock will show the correct time again at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
