Hi,

I'm not 100% sure but this would make sense as the first answer to me:
the machine with 990 ticks should be experiencing time at
(990/1000) of real time
the machine with 1015 ticks should be experiencing time at
(1015/1000) of real time
The length of time it would take the two systems to go out of sync be 5 
seconds would be:
(1015/1000)a - (990/1000)a = 5
where "a" is the time needed between syncs
so answer is 200 seconds

Sorry, but the I've not really got time to work out the second one right 
now. I'll try and get back to it at some point if someone hasn't beaten 
me to it ;-)

Thanks

Paul
