I did it differently to the rest:
2,880,717 = 2400000 + 480000 + 600 + 60 + 57
57 is the only number not divisible by 60 (i.e. one whole hour), so the answer will be 60-57=3 minutes later than than the current minute as you're going back in time.
This only works when the answers are close together like these are.
