Question 73597: I'm not sure if this is a vector problem or not, but this seemed like the closest in subject to the question to which I'm referring. Here's the question:
My accurate watch has only one hand, an hour hand. At the precise moment that this hand points directly to the 22-minute mark, what is the exact time? (Disregard A.M. or P.M.)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! My accurate watch has only one hand, an hour hand. At the precise moment that this hand points directly to the 22-minute mark, what is the exact time?
:
We know it is 4 something;
:
The hour hand travels 5 minute marks in one hour. Since it was exactly 4 o'clock,
the hour hand has travel 2 minute marks. Another words 2/5 of an hour has
elapsed since 4 o'clock. 2/5 * 60 is 24 min. The time is 4:24
