Every hour, on an analogue clock face, the minute and hour hands are exactly overlapping. At exactly what time (hrs, minutes and seconds) do the hands overlap between 6 and 7 o'clock. (am and pm will be same answer). You must also explain how you derived the answer. I will give you a clue : There is some misleading information in the question. Good Luck.

the answer is 360/11, or 32.73 minutes, or 32 minutes and 44 seconds
from solving 60t = 30+5t where t ∈ [0,1]
(with suitable assumptions about clock)

It's either Cabbage, or Bonnie Langford.
Really, it depends on your way of thinking.

Answer is 6.32 and 42 seconds.
Worked out as follows: At exactly 12 o'clock hands will overlap. This overlapping will occur 11 times in next 12 hours therefore time between each occurrance is (60 x 12/11) minutes which is 1 hr 5mins 27 seconds. Between 6 and 7 is the 6th time the overlap has occurred so time will be 12 o'clock + 6x(1hr 5mins 27 seconds) which is 6.32 and 42 seconds.
Misleading information I gave was in first sentence "Every hour, on an analogue clock face, the minute and hour hands are exactly overlapping". This does not occur every hour but 11 timews in 12 hours.

Misleading information I gave was in first sentence "Every hour, on an analogue clock face, the minute and hour hands are exactly overlapping". This does not occur every hour but 11 timews in 12 hours. there is rounding error here, even using your figures, ie (60*(12/11))-60)*6 = 32.7272727 which if you convert to seconds gives 32 minutes and 44 seconds (to the nearest second) |

Is the answer yes. Has this got anything to do with the average attendance at Vale park.

we're talking in tens and hundreds here, far too big for attendances at Vale Park.

minute & hour hands overlap 22 times
(times given are approx) 1:05a 2:10a 3:15a 4:20a
5:25a 6:30a 7:35a 8:40a 9:45a 10:50a 12:midnight etc. Both
of the "eleven o'clock" overlaps never occur; they turn
into the "midnight" and "noon" overlaps. The hour hand
is "running away" from the minute hand.
