Next Class: Complicated Problems

• When would three hands of a clock all overlap?
• It is now past 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The minute hand is 3 minutes from now
will be directly opposite the hour hand 9 minutes ago. What is the time now?
• A clock is operating normally. It is now sometime between 7:00 and 8:00. In less
than one hour, the minute hand and the hour hand will have exactly exchanged
positions. Find the number of minutes after 7:00 that the time is now.
• An absent-minded watch repairman connected the hour hand to the minute hand
pinion and the minute hand to the hour hand pinion and set the clock at 6AM
which was the correct time then. How soon after 6AM will this clock give the
correct time again? How many times during the day would clock show correct
time?
• In a clock with identical dials for hours and minutes, how many times a day you
can’t tell the time?
