Question 447157: On a digital clock, a time like 6:06 is called a "double" time because the number representing the hours is the same as the number representing the minute. Other such "doubles" are 8:08 and 9:09. What is the smallest time period between two such doubles?

To get from one double to the next you always add 1 hour and 1 minute (61 minutes) because it is always 1 more hour and 1 more minute, except for one particular situation. Think about it.
