Clocks: angles and time — Logical reasoning for kids
The minute hand goes all the way round (360°) in 60 minutes, so it moves 6° a minute. The hour hand moves 30° in an hour — half a degree a minute. Find where each hand points and subtract.
Harder clock puzzles from competitive exams: the exact minute the hands meet or are opposite between two hours, the reflex angle, and a clock that gains time every hour.
The minute hand turns 6° a minute and the hour hand 0.5°: the minute hand gains 5.5° every minute.
Hands meet after 60h/11 minutes past h o’clock; opposite when the minute hand has gained 30h ± 180°.
Reflex angle = 360° − the smaller angle.
