Smaller angle90°

Steps

  1. 1Hour hand: (H mod 12) × 30° + M × 0.5° = 90°
  2. 2Minute hand: M × 6° = 0°
  3. 3Angle = min(|difference|, 360° − |difference|) = 90°
  • Hands overlap 11 times in 12 hours (every 65 5/11 minutes), because the hour hand also moves.
  • Per 12 hours: 22 right angles and 11 straight angles; general olympiad problems only need the two formulas above.

Examples

3:00 → 90°
3:40 → 130°
10:10 → 115°
