I don’t chap if this is the answer you’re looking for or something trickier?
Also by the time it’s :05 isn’t the small handle a drop off? Wouldn’t 1:06 or :07 work better?
Well the hours hand only moves five minutes every hour. So it can’t get that far past the 1.
Let's see, about the two hands of the clock, when they meet again...
Hidden:
1h (for the small hand) or 5 min (for the big hand) are 30° (360/12 = 30)
so 5 min are (30/12)° =(5/2)° = 2,5° for the hour hand.
6° is one minute (60s) for the minute hand, so 1° is 10s, so 2,5° are 25s...
So this would be 1:05:25
And then I suppose there would be further regression...

No, not really, but last time they did not match, you were right... (with the 1.5 chickens who laid 1.5 eggs in 1.5 days or so)
How did you compute yours now?
I did 1/12th of a second.
I think I’ll stick to the worst meal thread until I’m better rested. And the ruler’s mind is sharpened. Right now it’s stick glue.
New rule: when you answer a math problem you need to show your work or give your reasoning.

Answer I got was 1:05 and 5.08 seconds. I have two double-sided sheets with scribbles, cuz I hate calculators, so I warn you if I'm very off......
As for showing work, no-one would understand....

Couldn't you pass me some of the glue?
I just chewed so hard on my pencil that it broke... and I would need some glue to stick the pieces back together...
