    Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28

    Multiples of 3.5: 3.5, 7, 10.5, 14, 17.5, 21, 24.5, 28

    Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28

    The least common multiple of the 3 numbers is 28, so the lights will flash at the same time every 28 minutes.

    The time will be 8:28 PM
