Hint: You'll need to use a loop and some basic math.

Start by setting the current time to 1000.

time = 1000

Next, subtract 5 from the current time and set it as the target time.

target_time = time - 5

Then, use a loop to keep subtracting 5 from the target time until it reaches the current time.

while target_time < time: target_time = target_time - 5

When the target time reaches the current time, print out the correct time to set on the watch.

print(target_time)
