I'm having trouble getting it on paper, just a description of how one of you might crack this would be wonderful.


thank you

Going around a circle exactly once corresponds to $$2 \pi$$ radians (of angular displacement). Going around the circle twice is twice that. Going half way around the circle is 1/2 that, and so on.

So what's the angular displacement (i.e. how many radians are traversed) of a hand that goes around exactly once? One that goes around 60 times? And 60 x 60 times?
