Magic Belt

[classic33]

A magic wish-granting rectangular belt always shrinks to 1/2 its length and 1/3 its width whenever its owner makes a wish. After three wishes, the surface area of the belt's front side was 4 cm2.
What was the original length, if the original width was 9 cm?

If it were two hours later, it would be half as long until midnight as it would be if it were an hour later.
What time is it now?

Pays to read the question.

New books required, or maybe older ones!

I have this but it seems too easy so there's probably a naughty landmine in the question....
