Test your skills of deduction with the September 2024 edition of Riddle Me This: Immanuel the Clock Setter

Immanuel was on his way out the door to visit an old friend across the village when he realized that his grandfather clock had stopped and no longer displayed the correct time. This was the only clock in his home, and he owned no watches or other time-telling devices. Without disappointment Immanuel left his home and walked roughly three miles to his friend’s house.

When Immanuel arrived at his friend’s house, he glanced at his friend’s wall clock as he entered the house, and after visiting for a few hours set off back home along the same route. He walked at the same pace home and had no idea of knowing how long his trip back took him. Regardless, when Immanuel got back home he immediately went to his grandfather clock and set it to the correct time.

How did he know what time it was?
