A Tick Question.

Brainteaser Answer 14:

7.5 Degrees.

Did you think the answer was 0? You are not alone!

Most people rush into answering the question and forget that the hour hand moves too; at 3.15, it will actually be a quarter of the way between 3 and 4 (because a quarter of an hour has gone by).

To calculate the answer…

You know that the entire clock is 360°

The number of degrees between 3 and 4 will be a 12th of that.

360°/ 12 = 30°

And the hour hand will have traveled one quarter of the way between that 30°

30/ 4 = 7.5°

So if the minute hand is at 3, then the distance between both hands is actually 7.5°
