either 3:00 or 9:00
Perpendicular means a right angle like the corner of a piece of paper

When the minute hand points to the 12, the hour hand rests exactly on a number. The numbers 3 and 9 happen to be perpendicular to the 12, so it is either 3 or 9 o'clock.

3:00 am, 9:00 am, 3:00 pm or 9:00 pm. Or you may put it in 3, 9, 15 or 21 hours of the day.
