1.
The hands of a clock coincide every 66 minutes of correct time. How much does the clock lose in 11 hours?
Correct Answer: A [5⁵⁄₁₁ min]
Explanation:
A correct clock brings the hands together every 65⁵⁄₁₁ min; this one needs 66 real minutes for that, so it is slow and loses 66 − 65⁵⁄₁₁ = ⁶⁄₁₁ min every 66 min.
2.
On what day of the week will 29 February 2028 fall?
Correct Answer: C [Tuesday]
Explanation:
Key Code: 29 + 3 − 1 (leap, Feb) + 28 + 7 + 6 = 72 → remainder 2 → Tuesday.
3.
A clock gains 45 minutes every 24 hours at a steady rate. It is set right at 8 a.m. on Monday. What is the correct time when it shows 1 p.m. on Thursday?
Correct Answer: A [10:40 a.m. on Thursday]
Explanation:
Clock time passed = 77 h = 4,620 min; real = 4,620 × 1,440/1,485 = 4,480 min = 74 h 40 min → Thursday 10:40 a.m.
4.
How many times in a day (24 hours) are the hands of a clock in a straight line, either together or opposite?

5.
At what time between 8 and 9 o'clock are the hands of a clock opposite to each other?
Correct Answer: C [10¹⁰⁄₁₁ min past 8]
Explanation:
M = (60 × 8 − 360)/11 = 120/11 = 10¹⁰⁄₁₁ min past 8.
6.
At 8:18 the angle between the hands is 141°. After how many more minutes will the hands be together for the first time?
Correct Answer: D [25⁷⁄₁₁ min]
Explanation:
Together at 60 × 8/11 = 43⁷⁄₁₁ min past 8 → 43⁷⁄₁₁ − 18 = 25⁷⁄₁₁ min.
7.
1 January of a leap year is a Wednesday. Which days of the week occur 53 times in that year?
