The village temple clock is seen reflected upside down in the still water of its tank, as drawn. What is the actual time?

Flip the picture top-to-bottom. The minute hand, which sits where 2 would normally be, returns to 4: 20 minutes. The hour hand returns to just past 8. The real time is 8:20. (Equivalently, read the hands against the flipped numerals. 3:40 uses the mirror rule instead; 9:10 reads the hand positions as if the face were upright.)
