Thanks both replies.
I followed same process, using sample times close to 07.05.
Came up with a similar function.
And my answer to be 1and 1/11th of an hour after the start time of 06.00.

Concluding (once I knew this value of course) that it changes 11 times within a 12 hour period.
So simply 1/11th of an hour is the key answer.

Phew!

Sorry this litle time problem is irritating me, anyone solve it?
At 6 o'clock the angle between the minute hand and hour hand on a clock is 180 degrees.
What precise time does this happen next?
I'm somwhere around 5 minutes and 28 seconds past 7, but not exactly 180 dgrees.
Anyone?
