Right before midnight (well, about an hour), I’m posting my promised Wednesday puzzle. So it’s only appropriate I go with a clock theme this time.
Here’s today’s puzzle:
Good luck! There’s no trick this time. It’s a pretty straightforward brain teaser with a definitively correct answer, but I figured it was about time to give a puzzle like this.
Solution
It will be accurate at 6, 12, 6, and 12. The easiest way to think of this is to imagine two mirrored clocks. They’ll still hit the top and bottom at the correct times.

Once as the rest of the time it is the day before
Was Jim correct, or are you referring to just the time, not the day/date? Also, are you concerned about if AM/PM match/are you using military time?
If you are referring to just the 12-hr numbers (not am/pm or military time), then there are (5) times will match for a clock running backwards with a clock running forward:
12
6
12
6
12
If you’re referring to match both time and am/pm, then (3):
12am, 12pm, 12am
