8. WHAT IS THE TIME?
At what time are the two hands of a clock so situated that, reckoning as minute points past XII, one is exactly the square of the distance of the other?
Answer
Ans: The time is 63/4 minutes past IX, when the hour hand is 45x9/16
(the square of 6x3/4) minutes past XII. If we allow fractions less than a minute point,
there is also the solution, five seconds (one-twelfth of a minute) past XII oclock.
