The above answer is wrong.

6*(5*hrs-(11/12)*min)

If you consider time as 3:48)
so 6*(5*3-(11/12)*48) = -174

Take the MOD.

Above given formula are just shortcuts of the following. You dont need to mug it up. Just use the following formulae..
Mod((H*30+M*0.5) - (M * 6))
Hour hand moves 30Deg/Hr & 0.5Deg/Min
Min Hand moves 6Deg/Min. And, 360Deg/Min(Ignored)

Yes, just using the formulae directly would be an obvious display of mugging it up. This is not a hard problem to derive the formulae (already mentioned in above post)

eg:
1:00

6(5(1) - 0) = 30 D

3:48

6(5(3) - 48) = 6(15-48) = 6(-33) = -198 + 360 = 162D

The purpose is to see how many questions you would ask back. Like.. is the time in 24 hour format. Does this clock move one click at a time for both minute and hour hand? If it does, then the shift in hour clock would be mins/12 ticks, at 6 degrees each tick.
