Morozkin problem

Vladimir Arnold in the April 1997 edition of the Notices tells:

The first real mathematical experience I had was when our schoolteacher I. V. Morozkin gave us the following problem: Two old women started at sunrise and each walked at a constant velocity. One went from A to B and the other from B to A. They met at noon and, continuing with no stop, arrived respectively at B at 4 p.m. and at A at 9 p.m. At what time was the sunrise on this day?

This problem can be found at several places on the web, and I assume there is no harm in reproducing it here.
