By losing 5 seconds every 4 hours, the clock would lose 5 seconds every 240 minutes.
There are 24 hours in a day, so there are 24 * 60 = 1440 minutes in a day.
Therefore, the clock will lose 1440 / 240 = 6 seconds every day.
From Sunday at 8:00 am to the following Saturday at 8:00 am is 7 days.
So, the clock will lose 6 seconds * 7 days = 42 seconds in that time period.
So, the clock will be 42 seconds slow from the actual time on the following Saturday at 8:00 am.
Therefore, the clock will show 7:59:18 am on the following Saturday at 8:00 am.
There are 24 hours in a day, so there are 24 * 60 = 1440 minutes in a day.
Therefore, the clock will lose 1440 / 240 = 6 seconds every day.
