  1. The hit, hit, miss pattern repeats itself in groups of 3's (i think), leading to 2 hits every (22.818...*3)minutes, = 65.45...

    1440/65.45...= 22

    22*2=44 hits per day

    Is this correct?  


  2. 25, you have to go round twice to include all 24 hours, start from three o'clock, the first right angle on the clock then move the big hand to one and the small to four, another right angle, and so on, continue until you reach three oclock again for the second time

  3. 23 because the most times this can occur in each hr is 2 : therefor 2x12=24 but the last one takes you past 12pm right? i counted it on my clock lol hope it helps;)

  4. .

  5. 47 times.

    every hour the two hands form a right angle twice.

    like : 12:15 & 12:45

    and 24 hrs a day x 2 times right angles = 48 times

    but the last time right angle would come the next day.

    so it's 47 times..
