Two neon signs are turned on at the same time. One blinks every 12 seconds. The other blinks every 15 seconds. In how many seconds will they both blink at the same time?
The answer is simply the Lowest Common Multiples between the two number 12 and 15, which will be 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60
Another way to prove this is that at 60 seconds, the 12 seconds sign would have blinked 60 ÷ 12 = 5 times while the 15 seconds sign would have blinked 60 ÷ 15 = 4 times.

Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks
A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year.
A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
