At 13:47:54.102 (hr:min:sec) local time, server B requests the time from A. At 13:47:54.802 local time, server B receives a reply from timeserver A with the timestamp of 13:47:53.752. For the following questions, you may assume that the network delay between A and B is symmetric.

1. What is the skew of B's clock with respect to A's clock (assume there is no processing time for B to reply to the message)?

2. Assume that A and B's clocks were equal at some time in the past. Is B's clock going too fast or too slow, relative to A's clock?

3. At a high level, how should B adjust its clock to eventually come back in sync with A's clock?
