Sharon, Thanks for the reply. The solution that you gave is not a perfect symmetry. I put the question to my son ,and here is what he said and I agree. The reason its perfect symmetry is because it goes 0220 0-2 2-0 see the number are a mirror of each other. 09:01 09/01, 0901 does not work because it would have to be 09:90 09/90 0990 which doesn't exist.
