The time now is 5:34 and that's 26 minutes before 6.
I get the same as Chris
My method
-covert hours to minutes
t=360-x
t-50=360-x-50
t-50-180=360-x-50-180=4x
130=5x
x=26
360-26=334
convert to hours 5:34

That's exactly how I did it. I'm dying to see the other two ways/answers ;)

hi Zaux...what did the source "solution" give you as the answer?
