All 3 bells rang at Time 0.
One bell rang at 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99, 108, 117, 126, 135, 144, 153, 162, 171, and 180.
Another bell rang at 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168, and 180.
The last bell rang at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, and 180.
180 (minutes) after the earlier Trifecta was the next Trifecta. 180 is the first number (after zero) evenly divisible by 9, 12, and 15. This will repeat every 180 minutes, providing subsequent Trifectas at 360, 540, 720, 900, etc.
