Formulas and Theories: Clock

Problems on clocks can be tackled as assuming two runners going round a circle , one 12 times as fast as the other . That is ,
the minute hand describes 6 degrees /minute
the hour hand describes 1/2 degrees /minute .

Thus the minute hand describes 5(1/2) degrees more than the hour hand per minute .

(The hour and the minute hand meet each other after every 65(5/11) minutes after being together at midnight.
(This can be derived from the above) .
