Can you describe your intent with the attached tree? That is, how have you chosen your labels on your branches? Why do you know there is something wrong?

Because it ask me to write down the distribution of X=1 and Y=2 and I don't get the correct answer.
and the only part that don't match is where I circled.

Thread 'Distance between a Clock's hands when the distance is increasing most rapidly'

Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
