Fun Fact
On a standard analog clock, the hour and minute hands overlap exactly 11 times every 12 hours. This happens because the hour hand moves gradually while the minute hand completes a full rotation every hour.
Historical Context
Analog clocks have been used for centuries to measure time, and the geometric relationship between their hands has fascinated mathematicians and engineers alike. The problem of calculating angles between clock hands is a classic exercise in arithmetic and geometry, often appearing in academic textbooks and logical reasoning tests. Tools like this bring that timeless mathematical concept into the digital age, making it accessible to anyone with a browser.
