"Argh I can't figure this out"
When the minute hand hits :44, the clock has completed 73 1/3 percent of a full rotation to a new hour. That means that the minute hand would have moved 73 1/3 percent to its 1 hour mark, since the hour is 73 1/3 percent over. This means that the total movement of the hour hand would be 26 degrees to the right, as it needs to have made 73 1/3 percent of the 30 degree trip to get to the 1. (every five seconds a number pops up, and since each minute is 6 degrees.. you can do the math). Also, 73 1/3 percent of 360 , or the degrees that the minute hand has moved to get to 12:44 from 12:00 would be 264 degrees. Take 264 -22 and you get 242 degrees of movement.
Same answer as Mj.
I'm so fucking tired... I'm probably wrong.... WAY wrong. I probably make no sence either.... I trouble expressing my thoughts with words... if i made no sence maybe ill draw you it lol.
